April 23rd is St George’s Day. The patron saint of England who, in English mythology, slew the dragon. Usually in our town, because of the multicultural population, the council are not allowed to show any preference to any particular religion, faith or cause. So it was a huge bonus when my sister pointed this out to me today. The council offices adorned the English flag and the flag of St George.
Ailsa has set the weekly Travel Theme as Green this week. I haven’t done this for a few weeks, so I thought I would hunt out some old photos from when I was at different places. There are photos of Port Lympne Zoo in Hythe, UK. The Raven from the Tower of London. Stoney Cove in Sapcote, Leicester. Kearsney Abbey, Dover, UK. And my sister’s laughing horse.
My sister, my son and my sister’s sons all went out to a nature reserve today. It’s a place that was built up from all the stuff they pulled out of the Channel Tunnel when they built it. It’s called Samphire Hoe. I can tell you, it is not a good idea at all to go there when the temperature is around the freezing mark 0oC (30oF) It is completely open with nothing to block the wind. You felt every part of the chill factor which at one point was as low as -13oC (8oF) We are going to go back again when the weather has warmed up a bit and we have some feelings back into our fingers and hands again.

These are four of the photos I took in Canterbury today. I am less than satisfied with them. The one of Jesus could have been so much clearer, and the one of the ducking chair could have been at a different angle.
