Additional quotes by Sir Harold Boulton, 2nd Baronet

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
‘Onward,’ the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that’s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.

When Adam and Eve were dispossessed
Of the garden hard by Heaven,
They planted another one down in the west,
’Twas Devon, glorious Devon!
