Happy St Patricks Day!

this day used to be about the Guinness for me...

now it's about the trials and tribulations that my and so many other people's ancestors had, crossing the globe in search of a new & better life for themselves and their children, and their children's children...

Happy St Patricks Day everybody

Happy Paddy’s day.

I heard St Patric was Welsh.
Just a bit of trivia.

Guinness £5 per pint ( hope I can use the product placement)
Going to save £100 tody by not drinking it.

‘Drink Guinness it’s good for you ‘ yeah right!

Have a good day.

WOW Dee - The Kilkelly video was great, though rather sad. Thanks. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy Sober St. Patricks day, SR friends who are celebrating.

Since (as I see it) it's all about green color, it can be symbol of new beginnings and new sober adventures in life. It's so much more fun than Guinness.

Here's some celtic tunes for sobriety fighters.

Couldn't resist)

I'm going to beg my way out of work today, ideally I succeed. It's amature night at the bar and I don't want to be exposed to it.

I have a really hard time at the bar on these kind of days.

Midnight Blue, LOVE that song you posted from Doug Blair!

Here's another contribution of Celtic music, "Seal Woman/Yundah" from Mary McLaughlin. Haunting music and art combined in the video:

Ireland is soo much more than Guinness . . . was checking out this video this afternoon . . .

Many years ago . . . River Dance put Ireland on the Entertainment map . . . it's still epic . . .

Thanks everyone for the reminder of what this day is really about - first sober St. Patrick's Day for me in many years and was struggling a bit. *salute*
