So it's St Patrick's Day now!

I began my celebrations a little early (despite how tacky it can be,
I love Paddy's Day) so this post may be under the influence of a few pints of the black stuff,
but I won't tell anyone if you won't.

When I was a young 'un, the 17th meant a day off school, a trip to the parade, and getting my face painted.... And now it means drinking Guinness (which I do without fail every year,
because I'm cool like that), and going to the parade.

In my fam we don't do the bacon and cabbage thing,
but we do have a full Irish to start the day off!
Rashers, Pudding, Sausages, Eggs, Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Batch Bread.
Best. Thing. Ever.

So wherever you are may I wish you a Happy Patrick's Day!
Or I should probably say 'Lá Le Phádraig Shona Dhuit'.

Go Ireland!

ps. that photo doesn't do a full irish any justice
pps. it's St Patricks Day or Paddy's Day, not Patty's Day, ya hear?!
