Indeed, Dave....and keeping up tradition it's now included in all our marriage vows...... :-)
Been so long since you mentioned it, Minty I've forgotten......wonder who it could be........???......
Not sad at all thanks, Minty.......I had to take poitín as the Jameson had evaporated.....swigged it back too quickly as I was updating MrG on family events and choked so much I thought I'd be occupying the other half of the double plot...... x
I have been witness to Irish travellers celebrating grave side..quite a party! music and food along with the sloshing of booze onto the grave for the dear departed..all rather jolly !!
My MIL and I are a day apart, Husband's BF, dad and nan are all 09 March, his paternal grandparents are both 25 September, his nephew and cousin are both 09 April and my aunt, her son and his daughter are all 18 July.
There are also 2 sets of twins in my family.
My boy has a birthday all to himself but he should have arrived on my late nan's birthday.
