St Patricks day


Adjusting the shamrock is tricky on a tunic

As many of you are aware my husband is an Irish guard, so St Patrick's day is parade day every year. For weeks before hand you will find me shampooing and blow-drying his bearskin (i am pretty sure he should be doing that) while hes polishing his kit.

Every year i take the kids and they love the parade, bopping around as the band play.

They are always waiting for the mascot to misbehave, but as always he stands on parade like a pro. Although this year i did snap him while he was having a peek behind Princess Kate when he was getting his shamrock.

They are always excited to see the royals and even got to meet them a few years ago.

This year i took my camera since my youngest is now old enough i do not have to chase him to stop him running across the parade square to daddy!

Couldnt wait for daddy to finish parade

Here is a few images from the parade. More can be found on my Facebook page.
