St Patricks Day!

Here's to you and yours, and to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours,
As mine and ours have done for you and yours!
~Irish Toast


St Patricks' Day isn't something that is too much of a big deal to me - it's just another day.

But I've been thinking today about one of the St Patrick Day's when I was at uni, Michelle and I went and sat outside the LRV and had a drink on St Patricks Day. (so this would have been two or three years ago). It was warm. it was nice and it was fun.

I used to love sitting in a huge crowd of people on the tarmac outside the union watching everyone walk between lectures and around to the halls and just seeing the world go by! I really think it was the little things like that which added up to the huge whole that made my university experiences so great rather than the big experiences - although they rocked too.
A big difference from today when it's bitterly cold and I just wanted to stay in the house! For some reason I'm finding the difference/contrast quite astounding today although I probably shouldn't be.
I loved my time in Stoke at uni and I miss it. I've been missing it more and more the last few days but I wouldn't want to go back.

I am however very grateful for the good times I had their and the happy memories I have of my time there!
