Paddy's Day

Just in case you did not know - Paddy was that fella who brought Christianity to Ireland and banned all the snakes from the state. That’s why people here have have a day off and while most would have a good few pints of Guinness, some even make it to the parade. We did not, instead we made a trip into the Wicklow Mountains. The weather was brilliant.



In the mountains we met our long-not-seen friends Madzia, Grzesiek and Bartek.
We exchanged niceties and off they went to their extreme sports. (Mum and Dad have not heard from them since, guys, please report to HQ or we send agents to recover your bikes)



After the whole day in the wild t'was time to sit down and relax in some cosy place serving well brewed pints of Guinness. And so we did.



Btw. I have got quite a few new fluffy friends recently. The playing elephant (can you can see 4 legs in the top right corner on my picture below?) is my favourite (thanks Nico!)
Or is it rather my Blue Turtle? Not sure, but they taste very much the same.



(oh, if you click on any pics they should open up as a gallery in a separate window... there are a few more there)
