Hello Seasonistas and welcome to Season 397, in which we are celebrating all things British!
In 1912, Rupert Brooke, whilst living in Berlin and homesick for England, wrote a poem entitled "The Vicarage, Grantchester", extolling the virtues of the area surrounding this property (where he had often stayed) in Cambridgeshire. On a basic level, this poem was probably overly idealistic even for the halcyon days of the Edwardian era and in 2019 - when the United Kingdom is plunged into turmoil as never before at the prospect of Brexit - it seems even more so. The title of this week's Season is taken from the last (and most often quoted) line from that poem.
Please watch the Intro. video for more details ... it's VERY short! All the usual rules apply and there is no song limit. There MAY be prizes.
Meanwhile, do not miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to release your inner female/male side for Joko's splendid Season!
I'll put up the Playlist when the entries start coming in ... and I can remember how to do it!
