The Icknield Way Morris Men will be celebrating from 8pm tomorrow night at the Fox and Hounds pub in Uffington, close to Dragon Hill, where legend has it St George slayed his nemesis. Link here for more celebrations in Oxfordshire http://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/8115812.County_set_to_clelebrate_St_George_s_Day/
I wish I were over there now to celebrate, but I'm not, so I'll have my own little celebration here.
Happy day to those of you in England tomorrow. |

St Patrick's day was last month, St. Andrew's Day 30th November, and St. David's Day March 1st. We celebrate them all with traditional dishes. |
