St. George's Day!


In case you were looking for us earlier, we were at Trafalgar Square celebrating St. George's Day! Here is the recommended ways to celebrate England's national day....

1. Wear a red rose for England in your jacket lapel. As the national flower of England, the rose is a symbol of patriotic pride
2. Read the “Legend of St. George and the Dragon”
3. Fly the flag of St. George. Many official buildings will fly the flag on St. George’s Day
4. Attend on the many St. George’s Day events taking place throughout England
5. Do a pub crawl and support the English pubs, which are under a threat from closure.
6. Eat fish & chips, England's favourite take away meal.

We have covered #2, #3, and #4 so far. We are heading for a pint in a minute with some friends, so #5 will be taken care of. 4 out of 6 isn't bad particularly because we aren't even English!
