Blog postAn Irish Blessing May the road rise up to meet you,

Blog postIrish Wishes And now I’ll leave you with two Irish wishes and an Irish blessing – golden nuggets from the hearts of the Leprechauns.
I wish for you Leprechauns,
castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after

And drinks beside the fire-
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love -
