St. Patrick's Day Parade

So I open my eyes on Sunday, having had a rather late night on Saturday (Tarryn's birthday party - say no more) to the sound of my phone beeping. Sarah wants to know if we would like to go to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. So we decide to give the GP a skip and go for a day out. So we met up with Sarah and the parade at Hyde Park corner station. Got a little spot at the fence and watched the parade go by.




























With something to keep us warm we followed the parade to Trafalgar square - we saw lots of interestingly dressed people... including sweet toddlers with their parents... everybody was celebrating St. Patrick's day.
At Trafalgar square there were crowds of people... the water of the fountains green and the proceedings were opened with the release of green, white and orange balloons.
...the next stop was Covent Gardens where Sarah and I decided we had green and white but we needed something orange so we decided... to find Nemo... he's orange and white? We hung around there for a while then met up with Rudi (Sarah's husband) and Bryan (he is actually Irish) at a bar called O'neill's for some drinks. We ended off the evening with some pasta. From left to right is me, Sarah, Rudi and Bryan. Overall an exhausting but absolutely worthwhile day.
