I have been reminded (by the blog 'Once I was a Clever Boy', via the British Catholic Blogs list) that today, 29th May, is Oak Apple Day. (I shouldn't have forgotten, but all the days are running into each other)... A happy celebration of Charles II's Restoration to all readers!
(An Oak Apple, by the way, is a gall, from one particular kind of which iron gall ink was once made).
