Happy Independence Day.

Dear Motherland,

Do not fret, I haven't forsaken you. However, I do like a good party. So, on this 4th of July, the anniversary of the United States of America's declaration of independence from merry old England, please forgive me for breaking bread and sharing wine with our colonial cousins.

Rule, Britannia!

Lots of love,

Vinogirl.

P.S. Oh...and God save the Queen!

Happy St. George's Day, 2010.

I traveled among unknown men,

In lands beyond the sea;

Nor England! did I know till then

What love I bore to thee.

Happy St. George's Day to my family, friends, and anyone who loves England as much as I do.
