There'll Always Be An England
words & music: Parker & Charles

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
Though worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry


There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.


Red, white and blue; what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud,
"Britons, awake!"
The empire too, we can depend on you.
Freedom remains. These are the chains
Nothing can break.


There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

Happy St. George's day to everyone everywhere x

Happy ST Georges day Mel .....

Enjoy it Joan lets hope they make it a public holiday very soon x

We have a lot to be proud of bein English such as ar castles, countryside and beaches etc so we need to be able to celebrate it properly x

I'm proud of my English heritage - I was born in England although that may surprise some.

Sue

Mornin' SueMaid x yes I thought you were born im Australia ~ although of the Australians I know around half were born here and now have citizenship there ~ it must be great to feel part of two great nations x

looking at a castle now through my window mel ...


morning sue ...

you that close Joanie how fab! What a beautiful castle it is too x

Morning jgee:)) I love Australia and wouldn't live anywhere else but I'm very much aware of my English roots. Which makes it so annoying when I hear or read racist remarks regarding someone's nationality.

Sue

Yes SueMaid that gets to me too ~ It cuts me to the quick my family ar classed as duel heritage {grandparents Irish} and even back in the 1970's when I was growin up it was still going on now all those kids are parents passing on watever values they have to their kids ~ its time people were re-educated about culture and rascism, but where do we start ~ if in the classroom its undermining parents so where?

Really Mel - you feel that strong about it? Then denounce it and let people who make racist comments know you disapprove even if they are friends.

Sue

SueMaid if your referring to my friends as racists I have never been subjected to racism by any of them ~ if you ar referin to a blog then I will leave now ~ you may or may not know I have one friend less than I did a week ago

Happy England day Mel Joan :))

Sue

Hi SueMaid
Our Granddaughter is 5 ( nearly 6 Nanny as she says )

she has an important part (her words )
She is part of a bridge can't wait to see that lol

Sounds lovely, Jen. My granddaughter is nearly 3 but when she see anything on the television with dancing she copies the moves. I'm really surprised to see how well she picks up the dance steps. Enjoy Sunday.

Sue

She went to ballet at 3 for a year but it was too tame for her she now goes to modern dance and tap getting on well too
have a good day Sue and enjoy your granddaughter they grow up so quick
