I love all the pictures and especially the prayer and the song - beautiful! Yesterday I was looking for something in the folder of research I did for Warrior King, my book about Alfred. I came across an article about a piece of research which showed that England as well as Ireland, Wales and Scotland, is predominantly 'celtish' by origin - the Anglo Saxon and later invaders contributed to the gene pool but didn't swamp it. I thought that was interesting - and good to know that we may all have inherited some of that celtic propensity for song and story!Sue Purkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084528571944803477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-69050224162539244572011-03-17T22:29:34.859+00:002011-03-17T22:29:34.859+00:00This is a wonderfully rich blog post.

There are definitely similarities of tone - it's beautiful.Gillian Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143802491301982960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-14528725013479208092011-03-17T16:37:46.066+00:002011-03-17T16:37:46.066+00:00Great post Lucy.

Unfortunately St Patrick's Day still resonates with Sports Day at my Irish Convent School... my worst day in the school calender, when I was forced to run races and compete! Later I took up running and found I was quite a fast 10 kilometre runner. But St Patrick's Day still brings back memories of angst at my unco-ordinated attempts, of letting the team down and of sweaty, hairy girls and smelly games rooms not far behind the angst!Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-37585140963544693252011-03-17T10:06:16.019+00:002011-03-17T10:06:16.019+00:00What a lovely post!

I'd far rather celebrate Saint Patrick with a myth and legend or two than a pint of Guinness.Mary Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241989732624913706noreply@blogger.com
