Ellesmere hosted six Paddys plus two for a Sunday lunch.
Six Irishmen and women, plus an Australian and an Englishman.
We had drinks under the leafy canopy of one of the Mulberry trees.
We enjoyed four courses and plenty of good wine.

All you can say is, "the craic was good!"
So the Irish gather in your part of southwest France, Tony, and the Aussies gather in ours.
