I'm originally from Belfast but I live in Manchester now, which thankfully has a BIG Irish community.
Not looking forward to paddy's Day this yeasr as I have no holds left at work and it's a few days before payday and I'm skint. My Paddy's night is actually tonight-my last night of drinking before starting a 2 week course of anti biotics tomorrow :cry:
Paddy's day is 17th March!
Im from Downpatrick, final resting place of St Patrick! We have a week long festival of events culminating in a cross-community festival parade. Im usually in it but this year getting a break so will be watching with a few wee drinkipoos. The atmosphere on St Patrick's Day is fantastic!

I am in Newtownards. I also used to live near Crossgar lol! I am looking forward to the day off on St Pats day, and my hubby is off. But my wee girl isn't off school unfortunately!
