Okay... so bear with me for some of this... I do know that dragons aren't real....
However, I love dragons. I love the idea of dragons (even the ones that swoop down on the villages... cos usually someone has done something to upset the dragon... like chained it in the basement (Merlin), there is the odd badass dragon... like the people eating ones in Reign of Fire.
My passion for dragons comes from the Anne McCaffrey Dragonriders of Pern books.. in them a one to one lifelong bond is formed with your dragon. The dragons on Pandora (Avatar).. (called Ikran) were lovely too!
So... all day I have been bombarded with pics of some little man wearing a metal suit standing triumphant over a dragon! Kept having a word with myself... "they aren't real... let it go" I kept thinking...
Then I pick up our local paper... and read this....
"Locally, it is said St George, of Layer de la Haye, killed a dragon which lived in the Stour Valley near Bures Known in medieval times as a worm the dragon was apparently rolled into the nearby ford, giving rise to the village name Wormingford."
I live in the Stour Valley near Bures... I can honestly say... there are no dragons.... but the bit that really really stands out... is the WORM bit!
worm to dragon! hmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Hubby just come in from work... and listened to my little dragon loving rant.... he just said "actually it was a crocodile that had escaped from the Tower of London and travelled up the Thames Estuary into Essex & up the Stour".
So.... worm to crocodile to dragon!
still hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !
