Unless you have been hibernating the day away vampire-style in your gaff, you will have noticed that Ireland is currently victim to what can only be described as summer. Men are walking around all devil-may-care in their shorts, the flowing dresses are out in full force, and there's a distinct feeling like the whole nation has just gone off on their holiers together. In summary, it's a CRACKIN' day.
And sure what best way to share your enthusiasm for it all than by telling the good folk of the internet about it!
First up, we have the picturesque is-this-really-Ireland tweets...
