St Paddy's Day Gala, Craggy Island.

 

Yes, St Patrick's Day, again.

So, here's a picture of the Gala Parade through the main village of Craggy Island.

Apparently.

Bonus - Today would also be the birthday ofJohn Wayne Gacy, and  Brigitte Helm, which means a reason to post this iconic image.

Knob!

 

Door knob, I believe.

From a box of slides marked "Trip To Ireland", so this might be from a swanky Dublin residence.

The Singing Daughters of Mick O'Murphy

 To celebrate the 2022 St Patrick's Day, we have another dip into slide set number 87 "A Trip To Ireland".

And after a fair bit of correction (thanks for the massively underexposed slide) we have this image of the The Singing Daughter of Mick O'Murphy.  Few people know that their song "My Lovely Goat" was fourth placed in Ireland's "Song for Eurovision 1973", and was later plagiarized by Father Ted.

Ah. St Patrick's Day

 

A day devoted to the introspective study of the teachings of St Patrick, and the quite contemplation of ...stuff.

Nope. stereotypical Irishmen (sorry, Oirishmen), green beer, leprechauns, Guinness and general drunkenness.  St Patrick would be so proud.

So...here's a picture of rural Ireland.

It's pure guesswork, but I think this signpost was at Molls Gap.
