I'm going to be honest, you've caught me in the midst of my first 'battle of the blogs'. Its all in the name of friendly banter of course... at least I think it is! So whilst I hope this will still be a charming standard Damselfly blog post I am compelled to flaunt and celebrate my true Englishness in an utterly patriotic fashion.
Here we go: To being British!
Great Britain is home to Adele and The Beatles, Mini Coopers, Scones, Jack Wills, Topshop and Burberry. We our so proud of our Union Jack that we manage to place it on almost everything from mugs to tees and even cushions (I even own a couple myself!). We love to spend time down the pub or sipping tea in little cafes whilst chatting about the weather. At least some of the stereotypes are true! Not all I hasten to add, we don't all have wonky teeth like the English always seem to have in episodes of Family Guy.
Did you know our national flower is the Rose? SO proud!
Britain is beautiful! No doubt about it. Want proof? See below:
The first one is from my home town, any brave blogger that disagrees with its beauty is... is... nope I'm just not witty enough.
Another thing I adore about my country is its literature. To name just a few we boast Austen, Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Daphne du Maurier, Bram Stoker, Marry Shelly, Evelyn Waugh, the Bronte sisters (love them or hate them their books are classics for a reason!), Wilkie Collins and to name a more modern addition J.K.Rowling (I would be lying if claimed that I wasn't a smidge proud that England is the true home of Harry Potter).
So for now I think this is enough to prove that England is a country of culture, history and beauty. We may not claim to have a statute of a mermaid in our capital but we have a dragon outside Temple Bar and Lions in Trafalgar Square, who would win in a battle? Yes I think so...
