HOORAY! HOORAY! It's Saint Swithin's Day! How do YOU celebrate?

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

That most beloved of all holidays, Saint Swithin's Day, has arrived!!!

15 July. St Swithin's Day. According to the weather today, the next 40 days will be fair or foul. Swithin, bishop of Winchester (d.862) was so humble he asked to be buried outside the cathedral where people might walk on his grave. An attempt to rebury him was abandoned when it precipitated 40 days of rain.

Which traditional St. Swithin's Day dish does your family serve? Roast Emu? Live crawdads? Buzzard a la cart? Raw Spam in blueberry sauce?

Do you still get out the family Bouncing Portzibie, and fiddle with it, as we all did when we were kids?
