Lighten Up: A special family connection

Denis reckons he is a 16th cousin once removed of Ireland's patron saint, in this week's Lighten Up.

Anyhow this week, as we celebrate the wonderful life of Saint Patrick, Denis will not only be raising his glass in honour of Ireland's greatest legend, but also, he will be raising his glass in honour of his family's most famous ancestor, his sixteenth cousin once removed.

You might not believe it, but I found out years ago that I was related to Saint Patrick.

I never mentioned it here before, for what with writing about farming, my mind was elsewhere.
