Today is the day that used to be celebrated as
Oakapple Day - the birthday of Charles II and the date of his coronation in 1660. Now discontinued as a holiday more's the shame though I say that without any political or Royalist sentiment. Any excuse for a glass of cider should be revived.
Just because it is no longer an "official" holiday doesn't mean that you can't celebrate it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI even got my wife some presents today and wished her a "Happy Oak Apple Day" . . . even though it was just because it happened to be Oak Apple Day . . . otherwise they would have been "Just Because" presents.
