Almost two months to the day after the event, I bring you photos from an Irish St. Patrick’s Day…Embarrassing really how long this has taken me but better late than never.

These photos are in lieu of a March photo an hour, it was a pretty busy month and I didn’t actually realise until April was here that I hadn’t done it so it’s probably the first of many substitutes.

DSC_0801I don’t know who will ever even see these but I really enjoyed taking them and showing my pal a ‘real’ St. Patrick’s day away from all the gallons of Guinness and drunkenness of Dublin city.

April is on it’s way!
