It's March the 20th tomorrow & that's St Cuthbert's day.
St Cuthbert's Day is the day on which Northumbrians celebrate their language and culture.
For any of you out there who will be marking the occasion I hope you have a great day.
Any suggestions for recipes or music appropriate to the occasion gratefully received.

Some Jack Strop will tell me I shouldn't even have a jackstaff on a narrowboat, and I agree - but it will be flying the Northumbrian flag tomorrow. I may even get the pipes out. Essential tune - Jimmy Allen.
