It all sounded a lovely way to celebrate the day and probably helped to instill patriotism. A pity we don't do similar in England for St. Georges Day. Well, at least we didn't used to. I shall have to think about schoolday memories and may even remember enough to do a post about it. <br /><br />Happy St David's Day!

My grandchildren seem to as they are at a church school. I do think that it is a shame though that we do not make as much out of Saints days. Happy St. Davids day to you anyway.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640881938305825896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-91208285353437827452010-03-01T08:41:18.550+00:002010-03-01T08:41:18.550+00:00I think it is a shame how we in the UK and ROI hav...I think it is a shame how we in the UK and ROI have let down the Patron Saints. We used to have a fantastic St. George's day when we were little. The whole week would be learning about the saint, making shields and swords and model dragons. On the day we would have a party in the afternoon<br />and do lots of different activities all linked to our saint and what he stood for. In Ireland of course St. Paddy (not patty like he is called in the USA..Irish saint so Irish name lol) just seems to be an excuse to get bladderred (drunk). My son is in a parade which ends with the adults in a pub and the kids outside throwing eggs at each other. Goodness knows how that started but it seems a shame that a religious saint just seems to be an excuse to drink too much!stitchersanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844767540468536515noreply@blogger.com
