Saints, Dragons, and Soldiers

Tomorrow is St. George's Day (and Shakespeare's birthday). We don't tend to make a lot of fuss about that sort of thing (Patron Saint of England stuff) in England. Especially since anything even mildly patriotic tends to get hijacked by racists, fascists, and right-wing extremists. But if any English readers do celebrate it - Happy St. George's Day to you.


Its tears were England’s crystal rivers
Its breath the mist on England’s moors
Its larder was England’s orchards,
Its house was without doors
...
He hid the sleeping dragon
Inside every English heart


St. George is also patron saint of several other places so we wish our readers from Georgia (the country, not the US state), and Catalonia, and Portugal, and Greece, a Happy St George's Day too.

.................................................................

Saturday is ANZAC Day. We wish our New Zealander and Australian readers a good day.

Take some time every now and then
Think back and say ‘I remember when’
You were as brothers you and they
Sent by your country into the fray
To a land of sun, dried dirt and dust


.......................................................

And if anyone would like to see what Arctic and Polar are like there's a couple of pics here

See you next week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.
