Happy St Patricks Day 2010.

Well everything has been painted a lovely shade of green to celebrate our national holiday - St Patricks Day. I watched some of the parade here in Cork city. It started on South Mall and went down Grand Parade, then down Patricks Street and along the quay to finish up there.

There was a nice festive atmosphere in the streets with loads of families celebrating the day and food stalls set up to . In the parade there were lots of marching bands and community groups.

There were lots of boats too, I suppose because Cork is on the sea and it's very important to the city and county.

Some other pics of London

I just want to share with you some other pictures that I took while I was in London last month. Here you can see a real traditional London pub in the center of the city. I don't know why, but they always seem to be on corners like this.

You can also see some old tube station entrances. I think it's great that they renovate old buildings like this and that they don't just knock them down and build up some monstrosities like they do in some countries.
