During the fantastic weather we had and hopefully it'll return I acquired a 12 foot garden pool and my 5 year old grandson Rory came up for a splash around
I have a leather CELTIC football which I tossed into the pool for him to play with and was totally gobsmacked when he asked "Is this a Saint Patrick's Day ball Grandpa"?
I asked him how he knew about Saint Patrick's Day and he said that the teacher had spoken about it in school which would have only been 3 days before the schools closed for Lockdown 11 weeks ago
He said "it looks like a Saint Patrick's Day ball because it's green and has a Saint Patrick's Day flower on it" (4 leafed clover)
I didn't have the heart to tell the wee guy that the Shamrock is the Saint Patrick's Day flower but I'll ensure that he's up to speed by 17th March next year
Hope everyone is coping well with the current restrictions
