St Georges Day


Every country has a national day. and April 23rd is the English one - St Georges Day. Named after a knight in shining armour who killed a dragon a few years ago. Not sure what the connection is to England other than we didn't have a national saint at the time, and the English do love an underdog who triumphs!

Here, in honour of this fact, I'm wearing the colours of the English Rugby team. No dragons or knights in sight, but an Enslih red rose is the symbol. And it's the only vaguely nationalistic clothing I own.
