St. Patrick´s Day Parade Waterville 2016

St. Patrick must truly be a mighty saint because he managed some brilliant sunshine on his day after four months with nearly continuous rain and gales. But don't worry, today we were back to normal with rattling roofs and soaked socks. Enjoy the bright pictures of a lovely parade put on the street by the people of Waterville, Kerry.

Nature´s treasure pot






The saint wonders: Where are they marching in?






Charlie still head down






Now Charlie is head up





Here they come

 


O what fun



All the Charlies are on the road





Even the tiny little ones






You don´t get away these days without the baddies






There were times when tractors did match the road size






Another beauty of times gone by






This way I could be persuaded to exercising, too






How can the electorate dare to make it so difficult for them






Treats for the kids






Heading back to the jury platform






Everyone gets a well earned medal
