Just finished my fifth ball in record time. It's got two scenes of the German occupation.
The first is taken from a recruiting poster for the Legion of St. George, a legion of British Nazi soldiers recruited from the Channel Islands and from the ranks of prisoners of war. The Jerseyese don't like to admit this part of their history, but I felt the St. George reference made it directly relevant.
The second scene is of the German occupation of Gorey castle (where my balls will be on permanent display). One of the soldiers is chucking out of the window half of a much battered statue of St. Mary, who has already suffered the indignity of being built into a wall during the reformation.
My next might be the dragon one I've been saving up (NOT St. George, actually, but a Marian legend), full of action and gore and coils. Or one about a fraudulent priest. Either wouid be fun.
