What is the proper way to commemorate Lindisfarne day?
A picnic with hamburgers and hot dogs doesn’t seem right.

On this date in history . . .
the Norwegians invaded the island previously conquered by the Germans.
They conquered it waaay before the French did.
The Dutch also conquered it. (That island gets conquered a lot I guess.)
Oh wait! did I leave out the Italians? Yeah they conquered it too. (Most of it anyway.)

Lutefisk and schnapps.
But pickled herring is an acceptable substitute.

Lindisfarne is usually known today as Holy Island. This island is connected to the rest of northern England by a causeway that floods at high tide.
A far as ways to celebrate:
A glass of Lindisfrarne Mead?
A race on the causeway before the tide comes in?
There are tours of the island from Edinburgh:
No its because the sheep csn hear a zipper….
There is not really a Lindisfarne Day but in my home city there is a viking festival each year. Plus it was featured in the last Assassins Creed game.
At one point during the Roman occupation of Britain it was also the capitol. I have good memories of getting ■■■■ faced in the Roman Bath pub as a young lad LOL.

Lol the Scots.
An important part of making Scotch Whiskey involves roasting thealted grain over a fire made with real peet.
Good heavens, God made a group of people so drunk, they tried to burn dirt. And today we call them the Scots.

I think Lamb. Didn’t they eat a lot of lamb, and lamb entrails? All they need is a good dipping sauce and they’re good to go.
You know what propaganda is?
It’s when an Englishman takes a real good look at something.
