St George, a Roman soldier from Anatolia, slayed the dragon and is the patron saint of England. The English are a very reticent lot, and unlike our celtic cousins we have never made much of our national day. Now, in the face of ever increasing nationalism around us, there is a reawakening of the English dragon and an increasing desire to fly the flag of St George (a red cross on a white background).

Hi Spot!
Back from the South of the US and I can see spring is coming to you in Cornwall, too!
Nothing needs to change there, it is just beautiful as is!

PS> Typically American, I am uncertain as to what St George's day is about...??
