New mum flies box of dirt to Scotland from gran’s garden so baby’s first steps are ‘in Ireland’

A PATRIOTIC new mum flew soil from her gran’s back garden to the UK so her baby’s first steps were technically in Ireland.

Shauna Bellew filled a Tupperware box with dirt and dipped five-week-old daughter’s Eliza’s feet into it once she was born.

The 27-year-old and fiancé Sean Tuite, also 27, wanted the landmark moment to take place in Ireland and got the inspiration from an old advert.
