St Patrick's day celebrations in a retirement home i visit

I suppose i would have to say one of the highlights of the St Patrick's day celebrations for me was my time entertaining the old folk in a retirement home i visit regularly. I do visit them regularly and they always love a sing song. I used to play professionally once upon a time (i sing and play the keyboard)but now it is only a hobby with me. You could not have a better audience than the old timers.

I apologise once again for my long absence from here but what with St Patrick's day etc i just did not have the time. The above photo is one of an old Norman tower castle, one of the thousands you will see as you travel around Ireland. They were more of a secure family home than a castle but of course were for the better off people in the community and not for the commoner.

St Patrick's day was hectic as always with large parades all over the country. It was a great boost for everybody during this time of recession and the thought of difficult times was far from everybody's minds. The terrible disater in Japan had also helped us to focus our minds on what real problems are and we are indeed fortunate not to have their horrific problems. We should keep them in our prayers.
I am posting another Blog on a special happening relating to St Patrick's day. Have a look and enjoy the link.
