Erin Go Brah

[wondersofwine]

I have English, Scottish and German ancestry (maybe Swiss Mennonite--not really sure about the German/Swiss part). My mother's father is of Scottish background. Her maiden name is found in Berwickshire. So that gives me my Celtic connection for celebrating St. Patrick's Day. I visited Ireland (Republic of Eire) several times while living/working in Germany and really love the Emerald Island. It's a place of great natural beauty, hospitable people, infectious music, interesting and sometimes tragic history, myth, etc. Scotland too has beautiful scenery and riveting history.
