St Patrick's Day Parade in Dundalk

I've been so busy of late that I  haven't had any time for blogging but I did want to share some pictures from the St Patrick's Day parade in Dundalk before it's ancient history.

There were marching pipe bands...

and men in kilts

and girls in glasses

Little folk….

and little fiddlers.

Irish dancers 

And Samba dancers

Dog walkers and

Martial artists

Tiny cyclists looking forward to the Giro D'Italia

and rugby players celebrating our Five Nations win.

There were Irish cailins 

And our new townsfolk who brought their colourful costumes on a dull day

There were fast cars

And slow cars.

Old fire engines 

And no Irish parade would be complete without some vintage tractors.
