This song is called Pleasant and Delightful, it is a combination of traditional rural folk song and sea shanty. It starts with a rural summer scene then moving to a love story about a sailor and his sweetheart.
The English Oak & Willow Blog explores the countryside where these magnificent trees grow and the buildings and crafts that use them as well as many other trees, plants, stones and all things traditionally English and rural.

2012 Season Opens
The course fishing season opened in England on the 16th June, this means an early rise for the keen angler so he can be on the bank at sun rise. Such activity has its benefits; peace away from other people, the cool damp air of the midsummer making thin mists on the water, the multitude of bird song including the various nocturnal species busying themselves before sleep.
