Charmion, my Catholic cousin used to take me with her to Mass (pre-Vatican2) from the age of about five. She'd lend me a pretty lace mantilla head-covering. I loved it all, and soon learned "..et cum spirito tuo" etc. Her Missal had Latin on one side and English on the opposite page.
I have Latin O Level (did it in two years!)
I've always adored all languages, and I do like to have to hand the Latin names of plants, because it makes for accuracy at the garden centres. I also have a heavy tome which is the Royal Horticultural Society's book of flowering plants and shrubs etc. Very useful, as it has lots of photos. But now of course, the Internet is equally helpful.
