Hi From Milford Moyle Donegall, and happy saint Patrick's day.  Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland who was taken from Wales by pirates and escaped but decided to come back to Ireland and convert the pagans.  It is of course a national holiday here in Ireland.  It is also a national holiday in America and Im told the reason for that is because in the war of Independance the Irish fought so well that Washington decided to make it a national holiday.  What did I do for saint patricks day?  There are usually alot of parades in cities around Ireland, but this year there was not a parade around this part of Ireland because Saint Patricks Day is so close to holly week of easter when no one is supposed to be drinking.  Usually the two holidays dont fall in the same week.  Anyway, Nick and I went around bird watching and I saw some Geese, Loons, Divers,  (deciphering birds in Ireland can be tricky because the same name is used for a different bird) then we went to the farm and I dug some potatoe trows the old fassion way by hand which is alot of work.  Well by for now.  PS the 2 pictures I sent today  are of a castle I visited yesterday in the Glenvauge national park and the other is a picture I took of Nick the man I am living with while here in Milford.  Take Care.  Micah
