Happy St Patrick’s Day
Beannachtai La Fheile Phadraig
I chose this particular photograph because it has the feel of an Irish day and I love the rain coloured mountains in the background.
Two gifts on the day when everyone is a little bit Irish…
He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven
by William Butler Yeats
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
and The Chieftains making you want to dance

Happy St Patrick’s Day, Bridget!
Thank you or Go raibh míle maith agat which is about the only bit of Irish I remember hearing at home. (I think that translates to a million thanks in the naturally reserved, understated Irish way.)
Just remembered another phrase….dún an doras. Close the door!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Bridget! 🙂
I’ve run out of Gaelic so all I can say is thank you and may the wind always be at your back.
Great foot tapping energizing stuff! Gura míle maith agat a Brighid!
My reply disappeared so I’ll put it again – wasn’t anything witty, except to say thank you and that it’s impossible to sit still to this music or to stop a smile spreading across your face…
