St Patrick's Day 2021
Just another strange day in this life that we are living.
No celebrations or parades in Ireland.
However, world over, we wore green and we ate green food and we played Irish music. Buildings and monuments went green. We marked the day.
We marked the day in a different way. We connected virtually.
We will be together again. There are better days ahead. And we will parade in future St Patrick's Day.
Here's the Irish President's St Patrick's Day message.
And for posterity, I'll link my last year's St Patrick's Day blog here. A lot has happened in the year since then. But from reading back over my blog, I don't think I realised at that point what was going to happen. Strange, scary times in a lot of ways. I try to stay positive as I know I am very lucky as I have not lost anyone close to me from Covid.
Here's to St Patrick's Day 2022. It will be a big celebration if this pandemic is all over. We must stay positive and believe that it will be over.
