Hi

Yes some of us do say the Irish Blessing, (my mother in law sent me it as an embroidery to remind me of home.) It's one of those things that tends to get printed on tea towels etc to keep the tourists happy, like recipes for soda or potato bread. We have book loads of this sort of stuff and sayings of "Irish wisdom" (insert own jokes here.....), eg. you can't pluck a frog!

And then there's always the Irish letter.... you know the one that starts... "I'm writing this slowly because I know you can't read very fast....."

Slainte
