Hi Sue: I had neve heard the song Jerusalem before, so I googled it and it had the lyrics. That must be where the phrase green and pleasant land came from. |

It doesn't have to be one of the regular ones you think of when you think of talents, like painter, musician, but simple every day ones like cooking, baking, indoor hang gliding and the like. Being able to listen to someone is a talent. Come on now, don't be shy. |

For what it's worth, I can sing a fair note or two ( I love singing) and I am gradually learning to paint watercolours that are not all binners! Jerusalem is a beautiful song and should be the English national anthem.  |
