This Week...

Not only did we celebrate our birthday this week but it was also St Patricks day on Saturday 17 March. Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a religious and cultural holiday held each year as it is the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.

The Ides of March...

The Ides of March is the day on the Roman calendar marked as the Idus, roughly the midpoint of a month, of Martius, corresponding to 15 March on the Gregorian calendar. It was marked by several major religious observances. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar, which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history
