Teresa adding the final layer of fishing net to the float This past week has seen the preparations for the first local St Patrick's Day Parade since the first lock down. And some absolutely incredible fundraising for our Ukrainian guests. Firstly - the parade I was asked to decorate a float with plastic. It is well known locally that I have a stockpile of plastics from local farms and beaches. The float in the parade I asked my friend Teresa to give me a hand, we had a great afternoon decorating the trailer. It was good to be working in the warm sunshine. I had a selection of coloured plastic to use. We decided to use the colours of the Irish flag. The sun shone on the day of St Patricks Day. Kilkee was packed with visitors, it is a very popular place to holiday at any time of year. It was brilliant, such an amazing atmosphere Having fun in the sunshine     The winning float.
