Dear Alan, why thankyou for the Celtic fringe greetings.

Belated one to you both too. Sorry, I wasn't on here yesterday, I was in London, where I saw only 4 flags (on BT vans) and that was it. I wore a red rose, as I usually do, but there was nothing to mark the day that I saw, despite Clinton's Cards having a window full of St George's Day goods for sale.

In Rugby, there was a big celebration again, with roads closed from 10-4 and events all day. The whole place is festooned with bunting and most of the shops have different patriotic displays.

In London on St Patrick's Day, I was having to fight my way past hundreds of Guinness leprechauns in Leicester Square and you couldn't turn around without seeing an Irish flag.

A day late i know but, i have just planted out fifty St George Runner bean plants.

You're excused. The cold weather did drag on a bit.

Coming home on the Great Cambridge Road (A10) in Enfield I saw a Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon with a roof rack, which had so many flags tied on, the LR looked more like a yacht!

We're growing those this year

Dear Chantal, we do have one thing in common then.

Alan, i was going to ignore your drag on, comment, but it did make me smile.
