Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
15/Mar/2008

One of my Guinness t-shirts is wrong this year. Since St Patrick's Day was moved by 2 days the one I wear on March 17th has the wrong date on it.

This year, for one year only, it's on the March 15th instead of the 17th, so it doesn't clash with the start of Holy Week leading up to Easter. I've got my cans of Guinness in the fridge ready to open tonight.



City Farm

Coventry City Farm is being forced to close soon, due to lack of funds. At the moment it is still open and they are accepting donations so they can still afford to feed the animals. While we were there, we lent our support by dropping some money in the collection box and also by buying a few things from the shop.
