Happy St Patrick's Day (tomorrow)

My son is currently living in Chicago and sent me this photo last weekend.

The Chicagoans make a big thing of St Patrick's Day. They start their celebrations early (the Saturday before) by colouring the Chicago River green (as can be seen from the photo above) using vegetable dye, followed by various large parades around the city. Michael tends to forget that he has an Irish heritage - his paternal grandparents are Irish having moved from Dun Laoghaire to Nottingham back in the early 1960's.

The photo prompted me to make these cards yesterday. One is being sent to my mother-in-law along with a copy of Michael's photo.
