Happy St. George's Day...and isn't it a fine one! A day when, for centuries, the English celebrated as 'a major feast and national holiday...on a par with Christmas'.  With the forming of the Union this began to fade; celebrations were non existent or subdued but recently - with state recognition and self-determination being the flavour of the moment - are more numerous and growing.  Today is also a good day to live and die; no, I'm not getting all Dharmic or Druid, it's just 23rd April has become a symbolic date for world literature with so many authors, writers, poets etc dying or born on this day (or both in the Bard's case); certainly a touch of Osiris or an Ouroboros about it. Be good; dragon beware...
