When Irish Eyes Are Smiling......




Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all and hope you had a good day whether you were celebrating or not. Once again I am not wearing any shamrock as I used to do and I should really because I am very proud of my Irish roots....




My father used to always bring sprigs of shamrock home for us children to wear. My father was a true Irish man and past the love of his homeland onto me. So proud of my maiden name was I that I kept it when I married and just added hubby's surname to it. I had the surname of Doyle for 41 years and was proud to do so and so was loathed to change it....



My father would be so proud to see his family name passed on through the generations, through me, my son and my grandsons. Beginning with my grandfather, I would like to introduce you to the Doyle male line....

My grandfather Christopher Doyle ~ 1863-1934 ~


My father Christopher Doyle ~ 1924-1981 ~


My son Christopher Mark Doyle born 1984


My grandson Dylan Riley Edsel Doyle born 2009


My grandson Blake Christopher Cal-El Doyle born 2011 and will be 1 on Tuesday

I am so proud of my family but you've probably guessed that already..lol...


As I'm not wearing any shamrock I will show you some here



Wherever you go and whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you....



Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy xx
