St Patrick’s Day celebrations started early with a morning of ‘decorating’ up ready for the event.
Following this there were, cakes and other goodies to be made.
St Patrick’s Day Happens to be Daphne’s Birthday; for this years’s celebrations we were lucky enough to get ‘Little Gypsy Jo’ to come along with her fiddle and play some lovely Irish tunes. Many of these were favourites of ours whilst others we were able to tap out the beat with our musical instruments to the melody.
Following her performance we had a celebration tea (with an Irish style to it). There was a special birthday cake for Daphne.
The following week there was an Irish menu. This had all sorts of traditional Irish meals and what seemed like an awful lot of Guinness and Irish cream!!!! Meals included Irish Stew, Irish sausages, Colcannon, Potato Farles, Guinness Cake, Whiskey Cake, Barnbrack, Bailey’s Mint Chocolate Trifle. Well done to all the chefs who helped to make the week go so well.
