Ideas for celebrating St George's Day

invite friends and family over

eat roast beef or fish & chips
read some Shakespeare
read Tennyson's 'Ulysses' aloud
play some Playford dances
read aloud Churchill's 'We shall fight them on the beaches' speech
read an account of the life of Florence Nightingale
read 'Dover Beach'

make and frost a cake. cut out a picture of a dragon and lay it on the cake. trace around it with a toothpick, then pipe colored frosting on the lines. let the children help

eat the cake.

sing St George's hymn. [We're still looking for it.]

Thanks for this Leenia, this post had me tickled pink! Always funny to see how others percieve one's country. Not in a bad way.. Just entertaining.
You missed out the wearing of bowler hats and singing of Jerusalem though.. It's gotta be Jerusalem, preferably while feeling tearfully patriotic and waving flags and such! ;0)
Plus instead of cake - it should be pudding: http://www.puddingclub.com/ Something suitably public school, such as Tom Brown might have before getting a thrashing from Flashman.

Jerusalem from last years Last Night of the Proms.
