When I were a lad, on 23rd April Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides would proudly march through
town applauded by patriotic flag waving onlookers.

And yesterday Mrs E and I marked Earth Day by wearing a garland of green and yellow striped cable around our necks.

We try and remember to do this every year - we call it 'Equipotential Bonding'.

Don’t even need to go back that far. Eldest daughter (36 now) did St George’s Day parade with the Brownies, late 90’s if my maths and memory are correct.

St George

His dad was from Turkey
His mum from Syria
He was Roman
He died in Palestine
He never visited England
He didn't kill a dragon
He is a Christian saint
He is a Jewish and Muslim Prophet
He's also the patron saint of Ethiopia, Georgia (the country, not the US state), Aragon/Catalonia, Malta, Portugal and a number of places and organisations in Brazil.
And the patron saint of Moscow


I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
