Jolly Darwin Day
Today is Darwin Day — a non-religious holiday to celebrate science and humanity.
February 13 is the birthday of Darwin (and Lincoln) and I love the way the Darwin Day organisers encourage us : “Let’s have some Lincoln-Darwin Celebrations”!
It’s a perfect Londoner’s holiday: Darwin has strong connections with London and this is a holiday that all of the varied cultures and religions of London can enjoy.

Hi
I had no idea there was any such thing as Darwin Day! Although on the website you’ve linked to, it has his birthday as 12 February.
Nice blog. I write a London one too, although mine is much more tourist orientated. Please come and have a look! http://www.thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/
He was buried there, too - against his wishes. Other links - HMS Beagle was built at Woowich.
