Luck of the Irish! Happy St. Patrick's Day :)
Hello! Wow, it’s March already! We are having little glimpses of Spring,
here in Ireland, and it is so nice to see all the Spring flowers blooming. It
gives such a glimmer of hope for a lovely summer ahead.
This year, March is a busy month - this Sunday is Mother's Day, so wishing all Mammy's out there, a lovely Mothering Sunday!! In the middle of March, we celebrate our Patron Saint's feast day - St. Patrick. Wherever you are, I hope you enjoy St. Patrick's Day (or Paddy's Day, but *NOT* Patty's Day ;) ) In the words of my kiddies favourite film (Flight of the Doves)
"You don't have to be Irish to be Irish"!!
And then near the end of March it's Easter. Phew, busy month!
Thank you for all the beautiful February entries. We really enjoyed looking
at everything that makes YOU smile. Our DT chose
1st - 65 Angelique
2nd - 58 Paperesse
3rd - 39 Sweet Kobylkin
1st - 65 Angelique
2nd - 58 Paperesse

St. Parick is the patron
saint of Ireland, on we celebrate this day on March 17th. Inspired
by this day, our theme for March is “The Luck of the Irish”. You can interpret
this theme any way you wish!
