More dragon than st.george

Happy St. George's day! In the spirit of the day, here's a list of some movies that include dragons either as the main character or an add-on.

Or you could just go and visit some Komodo dragons… please stay a safe distance! Image via

the beast of Bodmin

so Cornwall apparently has its own 'Sasquatch' or 'big foot'. I once talked about Harrods selling animals (like lions, tigers and most likely bears). Well, it's an old legend that a baby puma or cougar was bought from Harrods and sent down to some wealthy crazy person in the middle of Cornwall. Unfortunately, as the animal got larger and larger the owner couldn't keep him anymore and instead of calling animal control or not buying a ridiculous pet in the first place - he released it into the wild. And now the Bodmin moors are 'haunted' by the beast who looks for food in an 'unnatural' environment.

Once and a while someone claims to see it - but there have been no pictures.

deer hunt - never!

a couple weeks ago, L2 and I needed to escape the city. Being surrounded by people constantly really starts to get to me. Maybe it's because I grew up with so much space in Canada or maybe it's just a natural feeling... Whatever it was - I was going stir crazy so L2 and I went north of London to Epping Forest. While accessible via the tubes it still took over an hour to make it up there but it was worth it as we found.........

A DEER SANCTUARY! After oogling over many deer, Liam and I got lost in a very different style of forest than home. The trees are not as big and so perfectly spaced. We've decided that it's the perfect venue for capture the flag.

Location: a little more pemanent


We're starting to really think permanency in jolly ole England. As we get more and more into a routine, I think more and more of staying for more than just a couple years. Especially since this year has just flown by. It still feels strange to have my second time around in a season. But as we think permanency we think animals. I'm a big dog lover and desperately wanted one since I left the faithful Maltese when I was 18. Since then, the Maltese has passed away and I still want a dog - but maybe (no definitely) a bit bigger. But - coming across some shelters - it's rabbits that are left in the cold more often than not. As they can be fully house-trained and you need two to keep each other company but you don't have to take them outside and they require less room in a home - it's now become an option. Anyone owned a rabbit and can provide advice or a yay or 'dear g*d no'.

I can't do cats because I'm allergic. I'm not sure about the hamster idea. Nocturnal (I'm not) and stuck in a cage (I hate that)....
