Happy St George's Day

Happy St George's Day one and all, the feast day of the patron Saint of England ..... and Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Macedonia, Portugal, Romania and Serbia.

Strange how we have a patron Saint who was from Turkey (or possibly Palestine) and never set foot in England. Apparently, in addition to a host of countries, good old St George is also the patron saint of immigrants, refugees, leprosy, plague, skin diseases, agricultural workers, archers, butchers, cavalry, chivalry, farmers, horsemen, horses, knights, saddle makers, sheep, shepherds, soldiers & boy scouts. Not bad really.

Lunch with the boss today to catch up & get a free lunch ........ and a new load of work. I wonder what the patron saint of learning to keep quiet might be?
