🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷  Happy Saint George's Day !

Celebrated today ... on the 23rd April each year... well we did in the old days!

I think it would be fair to describe my extended family as patriots as it includes a number of people who served in the armed forces. Delighted as I am to see attempts made to celebrate St George's Day more, I'm perplexed by the notion that this is a lost tradition.

Hounslow House were very good at flying the EU flag a few years ago!

I love your story Anne. What a great connection. We'll remember that when we see your name.I wonder whether Hounslow House flew the St George's flag on the 23rd.As you know the 17th March is well celebrated local ...with the colour green seen all over.1st March ? St David's Day seemed quiet.30th November? St Andrews Day quiet too... except in my flat.Have family living on the Isle of Lewis!

Why we don't celebrate it or, in fact, why a lot of people don't know the date is a shame. I wonder whether any local pub is having a St George's night as they did with Burn's night?Whatever Happy Birthday to Shakespeare and remembrances of my parents who - despite the name - quite coincidentally got married on a 23rd April.
