QO-X Whilst worthy of the mention, it seems a shame that no one mentioned it was St Georges Day.

We seem to remember St Patricks, Thanks Giving and Independance Day and all pass on best wishes etc, but St Georges Day seems to have passed everyone by; or did I miss a posting?

Anyway, yes, lest we forget, St George and England!!!

Thanks to you all for being so gentle on me. I woke up this morning to the same reaslisation that it was still April. Yes I will be going to the memorial again in June. I was writing a cheque to pay my car insurance at the time so I have paid that a month early too.
 Happy St George day too.
Incase Doris is asleep at the wheel tomorrow is ANZAC day.
