Happy St. George's Day.

"I am English, and my Englishness is my very vision" D. H. Lawrence.
A favourite quote of mine ever since my childhood.
No wine connection. No wry observations. No viticultural insights. I just want to pay homage to the patron saint of the country that I happen to call my own.

Old George wasn't perhaps the best Saint...but he's OUR saint! And reviled and adopted by some unpleasant people thought it is, the red cross on a white background is still a great bit of marketing!

"Cry, God for Harry, England and St George."

(and America doesn't have one.....!!!)

I feel all patriotic...I think I'll sit down and have a slice of cake.
