Like pretty much everyone else in Ireland, the Shan kids dressed in green for St Patrick's Day on March 17th, as you can see in the first photo!

Not content with just wearing a green top, Gaia added a flag to the mix in the second photo.

The third and fourth were taken the next day, when we visited Bunratty Folk Park (always a treat). Dante made friends with a ladybird in pic 3, while I joined the kids in looking for fish in a small stream in the fourth and final snap.

There are no fish in the May issue of my monthly online newsletter, but you WILL spot articles about two new books that I'm releasing this month, plus an exciting competition. Cast your line into the Shantastic waters by clicking here: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly
