Smiffy49 590 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Happy St Georges Day everyone ! Golden sunshine breaking through the mist hanging over the fields. Out bright and early at 5.30am today for a walk with my dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Black Lab. They both had a wonderful time chasing rabbits and came back dripping wet after running through the edge of an oil seed reap field. Met a chap with a lovely Springer Spaniel and they all bounced around together, lovely.... The Springers name was George, luckily I did not see any dragons ! What a wonderful world we live in, why can't we all learn to get on with each other? Smiffy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am very fortunate in having wild St George's mushrooms growing in the garden underneath an Ash tree. Today I shall celebrate (is it still permitted to celebrate St Georges Day in Britain?) with St Gerorge's garlic mushrooms for tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi Compo, it is still permitted, just! It's a shame we don't embrace St George's Day like many non Irish do on St Patricks Day. Maybe they only "celebrate" because of the alcohol involved. The powers that be don't want any jingoistic activities taking place do they. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 No one calls it racist When the daffodil's worn in Wales Or is offended by their dragon With its forked tail and scales When St Patrick’s day comes round And the shamrock's being worn The Irish are not treated With insult or with scorn If a Scotsman on St Andrew’s dayhoists his flag aloft He’s not proclaimed a fascist Or ridiculed or scoffed So when St George's Day arrives We English men won't hide For Elizabeth, England & St George We’ll wear our Rose with pride 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 May I suggest a better "Saints Day" 25th October St Crispins Day The Battile of Agincourt was on this day in 1415 & we beat the damn French Now that's worth celebrating 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
