Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's the 17th of March
St. Patrick's Day
I'm ashamed to admit that I had to ask my mother to remind what St. Patrick's Day is all about
Because you see in this country, to most people, this day means two things

1. Day off work

2. Almighty piss up!!

I'm sure that I did know somewhere in the back of my head what this day means but I needed a little reminder
Basically St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland
And banished all of the snakes
The snakes being a symbol of evil and the Devil

Anyway
History lesoen over

In my former life I was one of those people heading to the pub today
I was downing pints and knocking back shots and taking whatever was going
Not anymore

Today I got up early and went for a walk with my mum and dogs
I could tell you about about it
Instead here's some photos for your delectation
Enjoy......

  1. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well. No plans for me. I did the mistake of celebrating on Saturday night and got trashed. Lovely pictures.
    XOXO

  4. Um, I would head to the bars if I was 21, I have two months to go. I'm relaxing right now after finishing classes, revamping my blog, maybe I'll find a good ale tonight if the grocery isn't out. I was wondering what they actually did in Ireland besides getting pissed. But that about sums it up I guess? I always am amazed how beautiful your home is, Ruby. Truly great. Well, here's to my ancestry. In America, people wear green and climb on roofs because they're so pissing drunk.

  5. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Looks like it was a beautiful day! And I'm sure a lot better, in all reality, than spending it at the pub.

  7. Rofl, you guys treat your national holidays the same way we do! Time off and a pissup.

    "Snakes" referred to the indigenous religion of Ireland. Which was Evil since it wasn't Christian :/

    "delectation" OMG NEW WORD DELICIOUS NEW WORD! I FUCKING LOVE YOU! :D

    Squeh can I come walk your dogs with you in November? I'm looking at flights and fuck NO I'm not spending 55hours in transit just coz it's the cheapest option D: I'm crazy but not THAT crazy! Going up a few hundred to cut that time in HALF!

    Love you Ruby <3
