Today England celebrated it's patron saint, George. Unfortunately it wasn't a public holiday, so everyone had to turn in for work. This may explain why we never go mad for out saint, like say the Irish or Scottish do with theirs.
But things are improving slowly. Here's one who's stopped off for a drop of the golden liquid before slaying any dragons and helping damsel's in distress.
I was surprised today, I saw flags out of windows and people wearing red roses - things are changing. We may get an extra day of yet!
ReplyDeleteThaks so much for your birthday greetings.
ReplyDeleteWe dont get a holiday for Anzac day this year either - it's on a Saturday. Phoooey!
Wonderful photo's GM. My sister and some other traders had their flags flying plus they were wearing red roses as well. Great to see St. George's Day being celebrated. Hope evenutally it becomes a public holiday. Linda

Plenty of dragons here, no many George's. No chance of celebrating it here, we'd be sent packing or birched.
