history

Today's Englishman is a descendant of different stocks, one of which are Celts:

From around 750 BC to 12 BC, the Celts were the most powerful people in central and northern Europe. There were many tribes of Celts. The word Celt comes from the Greek word, Keltoi, which means barbarians and is properly pronounced as "Kelt".

Celts discovered a new metal for making weapons,iron.That's why this period is called "Iron Age". Iron Age ended in 43 A.D , when Romans invaded Britain.

Three main Celtic tribes were:

Galli ( Celts of Gaul of France)

Gaels (Celts of Ireland)

Britons

Winter is approaching, so it's not bad to read a poem named "winter" by Shakespeare:

Winter

(From "Love's Labour's Lost")

When icicles hang by the wall,

 And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,

And Tom bears logs into the hall,

 And milk comes frozen home in pail,

 When blood is nipp’d and ways be foul,

Then nightly sings the staring owl,

 Tu-whit; Tu-who,

a merry note,

 While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

 When all aloud the wind doth blow,

 And coughing drowns the parson’s saw,

 And birds sit brooding in the snow,

And Marion’s nose looks red and raw,

When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,

Then nightly sings the staring owl,

 Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,

While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
