But you also get tonnes of people who really aren't particularly Irish at all celebrating St Patrick's Day... which I do think is just an excuse to drink! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and that you for your kind comment on my photos.Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-68785036077477531832014-03-06T21:01:33.256+00:002014-03-06T21:01:33.256+00:00Thank you!

I have a theory it's because so many of the Irish had to emigrate and they wanted to keep their national identity alive when they were far from home in New York and the like. It's always made a bigger deal of in the US than here. Not sure about in Ireland. I lived in Ulster for some years and don't remember anyone making a deal of it there. <br />Your photos are beautiful.

I did see that St. David's Day was coming up and I wish I'd read your post earlier and kept it in mind (though time difference may have hiccuped that) because I could then have brought St. David into the conversation I had with a Welshman today - named … David!Susan Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096174755215969268noreply@blogger.com
