Happy St.Patrick’s Day!

Lá Fhéile Padraig sona daoibh!! Happy St.Patricks Day to you all.
Hope you’re getting the sunshine where ever you are; it’s been a nice bright day in the north west. Hope you got in to see your local parade; it’s important to get in and support your parade (as poor as some of them may be) on our national holiday, IMO.

I went to Sligo for the parade; it was the usual mix of pipe and flute bands with RDF, boy scouts, mountain rescue, kids GAA, the odd half-assed float and unfortunately a cement mixer and other assorted commercial cars and trucks that you see in every other small/medium town in Ireland.
If it wasn’t for the bands they’d be better of cancelling the parade altogether. Thank crunchie for all those Northern bands coming down to play; it wouldn’t be much of a parade without them!

I’ll have to get down to Dublin one of these years; at least they do it properly there.
Anyway hope you enjoyed it where ever you are…
