Sayings of St Patrick of Ireland and Northern Ireland

St Patrick, church window

Luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it. 

May good luck be with you wherever you go, and your blessings outnumber (or be more than) the shamrocks which grow.

May the light always find you on a dreary day.

May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.

Titanic, Belfast, Northern Ireland, Green for St Patrick's Day

 

The Titanic Museum turned green in honour of St Patrick's Day, in a previous year.

Harland and Wolff company HQ is now a hotel with a barrell-vaulted ceiling. Right beside the giant museum. The museu was visited by Harry and Maghan Markle.

Where to Celebrate St Patrick's Day, in Ireland, England, English-speaking Belize, Singapore and Irish pubs and pubs worldwide

 You can celebrate St Patrick's Day all over the world, especially places with Irish pubs. In fact, many pubs celebrate St Patrick's day. 'If you're Irish, come into the parlour,' as the old song says. But, as as a modern pub proclaims says, 'today everybody is Irish!' 

On St Patrick's Day, I hope you will have ' the luck of the Irish'. Drink a pint of Guinness, and have the gift of the gab. 

Ireland is home of the Blarney stone and known for its writers. The poet William Butler Yeats wrote: Tread softly for you tread on my dreams. 

You can read the dreams and daydreams of other famous Irish writers. Alliteratively named James Joyce wrote Ulysses, which starts on a day in Dublin. Oscar Wilde was Irish and is known for his wit. Brendan Behan, another alliterative name. Jonathan Swift had his little people, in Gulliver's travels. Edna O'Brien. In modern times you find Maeve Binchey. Irish sounding names, Brendan, O'Brien, Maeve. 

Go to a pub for a Craic and sing along. Drink Guinness, or whiskey.  Eat simple soda bread. Or salmon. 

Irish pubs have spread far and wide. So have Irish celebrations.

Singapore

Singapore has a street festival from the 15th to the 17 of March 2020. 

 I recall seeing St Patrick's Day being celebrated in Singapore at an Irish pub in Orchard Road. Singapore has several Irish pubs. Molly Malone, named after the alliteratively named and therefore memorable heroine of the song about Dublin's fair city. Another pub with a popular Irish name is Murphy's.

When I was back in London, England, I took this photo of Wetherspoons pub in Hatch End in 2018. Notice the big Irish flag, the rows of Irish flags, triangular and oblong, on the bunting, and the  balloons in the flag colours of orange, green and white. I have explained the flag in another post.

Wetherspoons pub, the Moon and Sixpence, in Hatch End, London, England. hotot by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.

In London, as I took the train home, on St Patrick's Day, the carriage was full of Irish people wearing green, and green hats given away by pubs, singing Irish songs.

Over in Ireland you can see a statue of St Patrick in Northern Ireland, at Paul. How alliterative.

St Patrick was a real person. However, it is not true that he was responsible for ridding Ireland of snakes. A geologist says there are no fossils of snakes, so there were never any snakes. 

Thinking of hot countries, over in Belize, which is English speaking, being a former British colony, now independent, the pubs celebrate St Patrick's Day enthusiastically, especially the pub on the British army base. As my friend Edward Young, who is from Belize, enthuses, 'any excuse to party!'

I am preparing for St Patrick's Day. In Singapore, I bought green Irish shamrock theme sandals in size 4. I spotted them in a small supermarket in a condo, amongst the other flip-flops. I bought them in a small size 4. I buy boots in size five, and can wear socks to pad them out to the right size. I prefer adjustable sandals and shoes as my feet swell up in the heat and then shrink in cold weather or air conditioning. However, you need to buy toe-post shoes a size smaller. Too large and you are gripping them and getting hammer toes. 

Or the sandals slip off. You fall. Or risk falling. Inconvenient. Unnerving. Inelegant.

When I wore the sandals they were not comfortable. But I consoled myself with the thought that I didn't like my first pair of Crocs when they were new, and now Crocs are my favourite footwear. You may know the saying, don't cook anything new for a dinner party. The same applies to shoes.

Good advice for travellers is: don't wear new shoes when travelling. Even her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has somebody with the same size feet wearing in her majesty's new shoes to wear them in for a day before wearing them out and about. Not wearing them out. (Ruining them.) Unintended pun. Wearing them in before wearing them out. Oh, the English language.

I shall wear my sandals on St Patrick's Day. You can't see your sandals when they are on your feet under a desk. Nobody else can see them on Zoom, unless you stand up and draw attention to them, or hold them up. What you need to be seen in green is a green tee-shirt or top or a green hat or headband. (And a green background.)

Tee-shirts from teeshirtplace have lots of amusing messages. My favourite witty Irish sounding saying is: World's tallest leprechaun. Here are a few of my favourites.

I shall be talking about St Patrick's day at one or more of the Toastmasters clubs which I attend.

Prepare for St Patrick's Day - March 17th - When Irish Eyes are smiling

March 17th every year is St Patrick's Day, celebrated in Ireland and all over the world, with green clothes, green hats, shamrock patterns and flags.

In Ireland you have a day off. Plenty of time to drink Guinness, which is sold everywhere, even in tailors' shops!

In Northern Ireland, it's a day to relax, before or after seeing the Giants' Causeway dramatic beachside rock formations, the Titanic museum in Belfast, the movie set sights.

In Dublin, so much. Where to start? Some great statues and authors. And songs. In Dublin's fair city, where the maids are so pretty ...

In London, England, expect the tube trains (underground railway trains) to be packed with good-natured revellers dressed in green and singing songs.  https://www.rotita.com/St.-Patrick's-Day-vc-1043-1.html

When I first went to Singapore we lived near an Irish pub in the central Orchard Road area - Orchard road being the main, wide shopping street running East-West, like London'd Oxford Street. I recall being surprised at seeing so many people wearing green hats toppling out into the street. tTe hats were given away free by the pub to patrons.

A year later I was in London and went to a Toastmasters meeting in Watford on St Patrick's Day. The restaurant where we met before the meeting had a restaurant and several bar areas with green and themed decorations. On our way from lunch to the meeting we passed an even busier pub, packed with revellers. I could not get in because a good-natured doorman told me that tickets were sold out and the place was already full. Fire regulations limit the numbers of people allowed in buildings so that in an emergency you can evacuate in a hurry. (If you look carefully, you will see that lifts (Americans say elevators) as well as buildings and rooms often have a displayed sign telling you the capacity of the building. 

You might be lucky and find an abandoned item in the street or in a wastebin. (Americans say trash can.) A pub or restaurant might be throwing them out at closing time and be happy to give you something which you can keep for next year or display on your travel blog.

But there's no need to rely on the hope that a put or restaurant will give away paper or fabric seasonal souvenirs. Online you can buy not just flags and hats but whole outfits, tee-shirts, dresses and even swimwear with a large shamrock or repeating pattern. 

I find the advertising that tracks your interests is a blessing. I hunted for St Patrick's Day online to find make a poster for the meeting of one of my Toastmasters' International speakers' clubs, Braddell Heights Advanced, which had meetings on the evening of Wednesday March 2nd, before St Patrick's Day, March 17th, and after Patricks Day March 17th, our meeting being March 19th. 

Up popped a plethora of advertisements for swimsuits and swim dresses and dresses in St Patrick's day patterns and themes.

The World's Amazing Mountains: Phang Ng Bay, Thailand, Vietnam, the USA, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, The Lake District, England

 

Halong Bay, Vietnam

For a memorable honeymoon or anniversary or weekend getaway, the world has the most amazing mountains and cliffs. On a good day, reflected in the water below. My favourite is Halong Bay. Also spelled Ha Long Bay.  

Here are my top picks:

Vietnam

Flag of Vietnam

Halong Bay

Halong Bay is in the north of Vietnam, where the coastline arches over the sea on your map. 

An easy overnight trip from Siem Reap where we stayed. We booked through our hotel reception. They advised us to wait until the end of the week for sunny weather. They were right. We got sunny weather and great photos. Our friends went there, on honeymoon (second marriage), on overcast days, and were disappointed with the weather, the views, and their own photos. 

The black and white monotone pictures are what you get in dull weather. The colourful pictures are what you get in sunny weather.

Thailand

Phang Ng Bay

Phan Nga Bay leading to James Bond Island. Looks like Halong Bay in Vietnam. Photo by Tony Ng in Wiki.

How do I remember the name to search. Phang like Fang, ends with NG. Ng repeated in the second name. Ng or Nga.

The USA

Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon, USA, photo by Tiraspolsky in Wikimedia Commons.

You can stay in a grand hotel, bus or walk to a clifftop for a sunset panorama.  This is what I did. You take umpteen photo of the scenery, yourself, each other. Then go home to your lodge for supper.

In summer, for a longer daytime trip you can go on group horse-riding through the scenery. In winter you can take a group hike wearing snowshoes.

Northern Ireland

This is still on my wish list. When Covid-19 restrictions are relieved and allow access.

New Zealand

The Lake District, England

Travel Tips

1 Check Sunny Seasons and Rain Forecasts

Pick the dry season and good forecast for sunshine views and stunning photos of peaks reflected in the water. The sunny days may book faster.

Pick the rainy season for mist and waterfalls, if you have time to wait for delays of cancelled and postponed water transport and trips. 

 The rainy days may be cheaper.

Northern Ireland's Attractions: See The statue of C S Lewis in Belfast, in CS Lewis Square: The lion, the witch and the wardrobe

 

This striking, unusual statue of C S Lewis in Belfast shows him looking into a wardrobe. Also notice the chair.

Quotations

• My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?
• Book II, Chapter 1, "The Rival Conceptions of God"
• 
  
• Among these Jews there suddenly turns up a man who goes about talking as if He was God. He claims to forgive sins. He says He has always existed. He says He is coming to judge the world at the end of time. Now let us get this clear. Among Pantheists, like the Indians, anyone might say that he was a part of God, or one with God: there would be nothing very odd about it. But this man, since He was a Jew, could not mean that kind of God. God, in their language, meant the Being outside of the world, who had made it and was infinitely different from anything else. And when you have grasped that, you will see that what this man said was, quite simply, the most shocking thing that has ever been uttered by human lips.
• Book II, Chapter 3, "The Shocking Alternative"
• 
  
• MISATTRIBUTED
• Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
  • Not found in Lewis's works.
  • "Integrity means doing the right thing at all times, without hesitation" is found in a 1943 syndicated newspaper column. Elsie Robinson, "Listen, World!", Evening News (Harrisburg, PA), 1943-02-24, p. 10.
  • "Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is there to judge" is found (unattributed) in the 1965 Journal of Clinical Psychology.
  • The quote became attributed to C.S. Lewis by 2012.
• Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
  • Not found in Lewis's works.
  • "Integrity means doing the right thing at all times, without hesitation" is found in a 1943 syndicated newspaper column. Elsie Robinson, "Listen, World!", Evening News (Harrisburg, PA), 1943-02-24, p. 10.
  • "Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is there to judge" is found (unattributed) in the 1965 Journal of Clinical Psychology.
  • The quote became attributed to C.S. Lewis by 2012.

The great thing about statues in public places is that they cost nothing to see; and you can see them on your own, even when there are restrictions on meeting groups of people indoors and out.

What\s more, you can see them on the internet. And plan your later trip. Or just enjoy your travel around the internet. Isn't the internet wonderful!

Keresaspa - Own work

Mural depicting C.S. Lewis and images associated with his work (Aslan, Jadis, Lucy opening the wardrobe), Ballymacarrett Road, east Belfast, Northern Ireland. Lewis spent much of his childhood in northern Ireland.

What next? The Titanic! Giants' Causeway. Several distilleries. If you are not into alcohol, the Cola Museum.

United States or Independent Countries? What's Best?

Problem
Is it better to unite, or be independent?

Answers
THE USA
At school, I had learned that the United States had united and that was a good thing. Common language. Common currency. Common laws. That made the country great.

However, when we lived in Rockville, Maryland, on the outskirts of Washington DC, as soon as we drove to The South, we travelled back in time to a different world and world view. At stately homes, we met elderly volunteer lady tourist guides wearing costumes which looked like crinolines. These ladies vociferously told us differently. I remember one comment, "They left us in the dust!"

Please don't mention the Boston tea party.

EUROPE
Italy
In Europe, Italy had united. They now speak Italian.

The UK
Long before, the Romans united Italy and Europe and more. The schoolchildren in the UK are keen on Romans. No mention of the fact that the Romans conquered us.

Actually, there is. Julius Caesar's comment on arrival, 'Veni vidi, vici' is a much quoted, popular saying. To the average eight-year-old, it would appear that the Romans were on a jolly day trip.

The Romans did leave us nice straight roads. Lots of names, Chester, Winchester, Manchester.

The United Kingdom united. The UK joined the Common Marked. We were delighted.

Now, we have voted on Brexit. Uproar.

In England we speak British English. At least I do. Am I the only one?

Conclusion
Unification and division have taken place or been promoted in Yugoslavia, Croatia, Nigeria, The Yemen, East Timor and many more places. Travel to another country to hear different views on modern problems and ancient history.

A few fun football places for travellers

Cristiano Ronaldo Airport, Madeira. Photo from Wikipedia.

Problem
Where are the football places which will interest my friends and family and colleagues - and start conversations with taxi drivers worldwide! Visit England, Wales or Northern Ireland, or Madeira, to see busts and statues and museums of any family's favourite football players and teams.

Answers

1 Cristiano Ronaldo - bust outside airport

2 Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, near Funchal, capital of Madeira, Portuguese speaking island in the Atlantic. (Stopover in Oporto or Lisbon Portugal.)

3 CV7 (football) Museum in Funchal, birthplace of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiana Ronaldo's CR7 Museum, Madeira. Photo from Wikipedia.

4 Belfast, Northern Ireland - George Best airport.
Best place for football fans to visit?

5 Bust of football player for Spain and Wales in Cardiff.
Bales in Wales. Outside Cardiff Stadium. Lots of trains into Wales give you the options of routes, for example, change trains at Cardiff or other places. If there's a wait between trains, all the better. Make sure you have lightweight pullalong luggage with sturdy wheels, or light enough to carry on your back. Get off the train at Cardiff and have a look.

6 Football Museum. Statue of the falling footballer?

See a previous post.

Plenty more football and rugby museums to see worldwide, including on any trip to Australia and New Zealand. See my other posts. Please save and bookmark and share links to your favourite posts with your family and friends and football fans.

See Natural Wonders From America to Ireland on the wonderful Science Nature Page

Photo by Patrick-Emil Zörner, "Paddy". Details of copyright and attribution and other details on the Wikipedia website.

Problem
Many videos on Facebook and elsewhere showing unusually dramatic or cute and quirky places leave you with hours of research and appealing for help to track down the place shown.

The videos on the science nature page are in a new league, top of the ladders when it comes to clarity.  I started watching a video on science, on dolphins being intelligent. A friend on Facebook who comes from Toastmasters International had sent it to me. Then I spotted in a column on the right, the mention of the words travel and places.

After watching the video, I tried to find it again. It had vanished. So I scrolled down the Science Nature page until I found it.

What is so good about this video? The clarity of the captions and the factual information. You know which continent, which country, the name of the place. The information is given large on easy to read subtitles. I love subtitles.  Then, even if you turn off the sound, you can see the name of the place, long enough to copy it down to look up later.

All that it missing is the practical travel information. That is where I come in. I have to research how near is each destination to the country's main airport. I would also like to know the best local hotel.

I bet there are more costs. Is there a charge to enter the area such as a national park, if you are driving, or if you are on a tour which does not include entrance fees? Alternatively, what is the cost of a local all-inclusive a day trip to see the place, or an inclusive holiday including that destination?

This video on travel shows some of the world's best places to visit, not the usual man-made landmarks, quaint villages, ancient archaeological sites and underwater discoveries of lost cities, but all natural wonders.

They are:
1 BOLIVIA.

2 The Dark Hedges, NORTHERN IRELAND.

3 Long Sheng Rice Terraces, Guangxi, CHINA.

4 Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Oblast, RUSSIA.

5 Caño Cristales, Meta, COLOMBIA. (That sounds and looks like Canyon of Crystals.)

6 Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming, USA.

7 Pamukkale, Denizli, TURKEY.

8 Iguazu Falls, Misiones, ARGENTINA.

I had heard of Iguazu Falls in Argentina and Pamukkale in Denizli, Turkey. I had seen pictures of The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland and the rice terraces in Guanxi, China.

Other places which are already well-known waterfalls such as Niagara on the border of Canada and the USA, and Victoria Falls on the African continent. My other wishlist item is Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, which could be added to a trip to see The Dark Hedges.
