Time For St. Urho!

st-urhofinnflagSince I seem to be concentrating on posts about Finnish matters these days, it’s worth reminding you that Sunday is St. Urho’s Day. I trust you will all be  clad in green and purple, and prepared to drink up all the liquor before the Irish hit the bars on Monday.

And feel free, as you imbibe, to chant with St. Urho:

Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen

It’s never too late to save those wine grapes!
