A Certain Saint

[steepholm]

I hardly need remind you that today is the feast of St Joseph of Arimathea - also known as Joseph of Glastonbury, the first ever saint of Britain. So, don't forget to wear those giant inflatable thorns and speak like a pirate - after all, everyone's from Somerset on St Joe's Day! Have a good time - but do go easy on the cider.

I often wonder why Universal Pirate equate more or less to British West Country. I mean, obviously the south-west was a haven for smugglers and so on, but SOME pirates must have been from elsewhere... Is it Stevenson who starts it?

(I am in bed sipping pink gin, humming Elgar, and doing service to Irish literature).

You're wonderful.

Mmmm, cider.

Hee. The mind does rather boggle, though. What if, instead of drinking green beer we drank red cider? Vampires, not pirates ;-) And we could all sing "Jerusalem" instead of "Danny Boy"...

I'm reading about him in the Maeve Chronicles. Fun!

Glorious. I will celebrate with tea.

Bring me my Bowl of clotted cream;
Bring me my Crumpets of desire:
Bring me my Jam: O cloth unfold!
And set the Kettle on the Fire.
