Who was St George?
St George was a solider in the Roman empire who lived around 250 AD until his death on April 23rd 303, which later became known as St Georges Day. As well as a patron saint of many countries, St George is also the patron saint of the Scouts. So if you see a few troops of scouts parading on your local streets this Sunday, you now know why!

The Legend of St George and the Dragon
According to Legend, this story originates from a town in ancient Libya. In this town, there was said to be a lake where a plague-bearing dragon dwelled that terrified all the countryside.
To please the dragon, the townsfolk used to feed it a sheep every day, and when the sheep failed, they fed it their children, chosen by lottery.
One day, the lottery fell on the on the king’s daughter. The king was filled with fear and grief, and offered all this gold and silver if his daughter could be spared, however the townsfolk refused this offer and the kings daughter was sent out to the lake, to be fed to the dragon.
By chance, St George rode past the lake and saw the princess trembling. She sent him away, but he vowed to remain and protect her against any foe. The dragon reared out of the lake and charged.
St George with his shield and lance bravely hurried to face the dragon and gave it a deadly wound. With the chains used to tie up the princess, St George leashed the beast and led the dragon back to the town. St George then called out to all the townsfolk to convert to Christianity and be baptised, then he would slay the dragon in front of them.
The King and the townsfolk converted to Christianty and St George killed the dragon before them. On the site of the dragons death, a prominent church was constructed and all its waters declared holy.

When Alice Weatherspoon fancied a bit of fish for her tea, she didn’t go to the fishmonger’s or the chip shop, she went down to the river to catch her own. Mind you if the river warden were to catch her fishing without a licence it would have cost her a pretty penny, the fines were ridiculous and could be as high as £2,500.

I received an extra gift this Christmas. In addition to the usual jumper, multi pack of socks and underwear, I received a car washing kit. You know the kind of thing, wash- leather, sponge, shampoo and polish. I think someone was trying to tell me something. Never mind, it was a handy present and I put in one of the kitchen cupboards for safekeeping, I was sure to find it there.

Geordie was sitting in the club nursing a pint of Fed Special and staring moodily out of the window at the rain when his mate Dave arrived.
'Bloody rain,' said Dave as he shrugged out of his jacket and hung it on the back of the chair.
'Aye, talk about summer; it's hardly stopped since May,' replied Geordie.
'That's the British weather for you.'
Aye, but it would be nice to sit in the sun occasionally.'
'It's nice in Cornwall.'
'So?'

I write a quite a bit of prose, mainly short stories. A lot of them, but not all aimed at children. But poetry is a different matter, while I have always liked to read and listen to all sorts of poetry. I had always avoided trying to write it, mainly because. One; I hadn't a clue how to go about it (still haven't).
