What is Culture?

[Highway Man]

Another fine example of culture from a horticultural aspect Gardening culture encompasses the traditions, practices, and beliefs surrounding the cultivation of plants, including both food and ornamental plants. It's a multifaceted aspect of human society, reflecting cultural values, environmental adaptation, and a deep connection with nature

I remember Pete talking about that last week. I've had my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.

Neither could Dick Turpin, he copied it from somewhere.

It is in good hands as Eve was born in the very same hospital as all of the Royals were born in. Pepper will not say a lot about it at the moment as it will be a surprise appearance in the autumn.

I am looking forward to the showing of Eve. Everyone is speculating on how she will look. Have you got any pre conceived ideas?

She must have been premature. I've just read that she popped out a couple of days ago. I think this is the first official photo of Evie. I think she looks like her dad:

English Culture is defined by its language. Until the early 14th century the written language of Parliament was in French but the common tongue of the people gradually took over until Wycliffe's Bible translation at the end of the 14th century showed a resilience of the way an English language, developed since the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons a thousand years earlier, would endure.

Everything else: tea and scones; red buses; football; bulldogs; etc...is just a tourist cliché.

Don’t forget the Bible was only in Latin for a long time to prevent it getting into the wrong hands, until people like Martin Luther “Protested”, and anyone could translate read and interpret it as they wished.

Culture in London nowadays means being able to block roads and divert traffic without any permission, in order to allow religious people to attend an illegal place of worship (a house converted without planning permission).
The elected can leave their cars on the blocked road for the duration of the service without fear of getting a ticket...

Latin was the language of culture across Europe for centuries. French was the language of culture and politics in England for almost as long but during that period from the end of the Roman Empire to the beginning of the Tudor age, the English language underwent several changes in becoming the common tongue of the people; Chaucer did for English what Dante did for Italian, writing in the common tongue of the native people and giving them a sense of unity. A common bond that identified with a national unity. The Scots have a similar connection with Irish Gaelic and the Welsh have their Brettonic version; all nationally distinct and a fierce source of national pride that helped their culture endure.
