Going green!

True Colours Thursday - Things I've seen in shamrock green!



To my mind the most practical and comfortable car ever built! Launched in 1946 the deux chevaux sold all over Europe until production ceased in 1990 when its basic construction no longer complied with safety or environmental requirements! It was designed as a car for the people by the French manufacturer Citroen, and it's claim to fame was that a basket of eggs could be transported across a ploughed field without a single breakage! I've owned five!




 The trams in South London used to be finished in a rather boring blue and cream. And then suddenly they all got a new coat of shamrock green paint!






It's St Patrick's Day next Wednesday and I'll be wearing my Guinness hat  once again as I have year after year after year. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!
