St. George's Day

You'd never believe it, but today is England's national day, Saint George's Day. So significant, that of course, I'm typing this at work and not at home! A card shop has jumped onto the bandwagon and started printing St. George's Day greetings cards.

It's ironic that in England you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day, which has had nothing to do with England since 1916! I am glad though that the Irish have a very strong commitment to their nation's culture and ethos. I just wish we did about England too....
