You have captured the atmo...Ah the Torcher Parade! You have captured the atmosphere perfectly in your photos. I was in the Torcher Parade for the four years that I studied Gaelic, 1992-1996. I was a nun one year on the Celtic Society float with the theme of early Christianity. I still have a t-shirt with a paint stain on it from helping build the float - you only had a day in which to do it. In my last year a few of us were invited to be the torchbearers at the beginning of the parade. This meant we could pick out a costume from a shop, rather than make our own. I was Minnie Mouse. Not long after, we met our (adopted) son, who was 3. He saw a photo of me dressed as Minnie Mouse and said very sternly: "I never want you to do that again!" I assured him I would not, and I haven't! Happy memories though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
