A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.

There I was on a July morning,
I was looking for love.
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun.
And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home.
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own.

Today I came across a medieval map of Europe which had been used in a popular history video
This one is by Heinrich Bünting (1545–1606)

English Book Club - Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
“Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing.”

Re: Countries and travel
In case people don't know yet, I'm from France! ~:> (hmm is that a hen or a rooster?).
France is famous for its red wine, stinky cheese and high unemployment rate, among other things. :-j
