Hi folks. :wave:

I hope you all had a happy St Andrew's Day, wherever you were in the world.

Here's an idea. :idea: Why not send us a picture of a Saltire or something related to St Andrew? Let's share the good feeling.

I looked up Wikipedia and found out some intersting facts (below).  Seems we share St Andrew with a few other places so, plenty of scope for creativity!

"Andrew is the patron saint of Barbados, Scotland, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Patras in Greece, Amalfi in Italy, Luqa in Malta, and Esgueira in Portugal. He was also the patron saint of Prussia and of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The flag of Scotland (and consequently the Union Flag which also features on the flags of Australia, New Zealand and the arms and flag of Nova Scotia) feature St Andrew's saltire cross. The saltire is also the flag of Tenerife, the flag of Galicia and the naval jack of Russia...Andrew is also the patron saint of the U.S. Army Rangers"
