Happy St. George's Day

So what could we have ??

We have August bank holiday. Which to be fair is as much of an institution as any of those others. We don’t need a reason, it’s just a day off in the summer 🙂

Or we could also argue that Christmas takes the place of a national day – it’s a much bigger deal here than in most other countries.

I think you’ll find it’s only in England.

And Georgia.

Happy St George’s Day, good people of England.

Tonight I will be celebrating with the traditional English feast of curry. 😀

As a Scottish person I deplore this english celebration of the oppression of another minority group. First they came for the dragons, and I said nothing because I wasn’t a dragon!

Happy dragon murderer day.
Hardly any wonder there’s none left.

In a thousand years we’ll celebrate Saint Paterson day for his heroic efforts in slaying the badger.

I enjoy celebrating the memory of a fisherman from Galillee whose (partial) remains were bought to a foreign land by monk from Patras. Perhaps its the reeling and the wee drams that go with it? Oh, and (like the Shakespeare connection) its also Winston Churchill’s birthday.

Nice ride on a lovely day, topped off with a couple of Theakstons – perfect St George’s Day 🙂

Just back from a little wander

Houns – you were in the pub from 10.53am until now? 😀

After you took that ^ picture, turned your back, and walked away …… this happened :

Happy St. George’s Day England people. 🙂
