England

And what a fine morning it is! The overcast sky, threat of rain and wind pummelling the immemorial leylandii reminding us that - thought bright sunshine endures for a night - in England rain cometh in the morning.

Today the outbreak of more English weather reminds us of those great Englishmen who have contributed so greatly to our culture. People like Cliff Richard, George Handel, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, Lucien Freud, St Anselm, Kevin Pietersen,  TS Eliot and Spike Milligan. I tell you, it makes me proud to be English.
