A Nation's Day

As I drove through a chill November fog this morning my thoughts headed north. For not only is it cold - it is also St Andrew's Day, the national day of Scotland (which, for the time being at least, is part of the same country as I am).  I shivered.
 
I decided to think warmer thoughts.  There is another country that celebrates its national day today, and its a LOT warmer.  
 
Barbados!
 
You'll be wanting the words of the National Anthem perhaps? Here's verse 2:
 
The Lord has been the people's guide
For past three hundred years.
With Him still on the people's side
We have no doubts or fears.
Upward and onward we shall go,
Inspired, exulting, free,
And greater will our nation grow
In strength and unity
.
