Bon Mot Du Jour

Every great family and estate needs a coat of arms and a motto. Just think of the Medicis, the House of Hanover . . . . Brad and Angelique. I felt the need to create a coat of arms and to find us a motto on Saturday while I was writing up a menu for a dinner party we were giving that night.
So we have writing in an 'olde' Gothic script and the coat of arms is a prancing horse in front of a chequered flag. Established 1975, as that was when our great estate was built, and the motto? If you can Google you can probably find out. I don't think this will be the final coat of arms and motto but it's a start.

David cooked up a storm on Saturday night, as you can see from the menu. The food was just superb.
