Bought this cheap with a bent pushrod. Easy fix. Sorry to have sold it.

Had the petrol bullet but fancied the diesel. Wild economy, quite slow!

Ian is a man for the savage harvest. You won’t get him trugging around Versailles like some latter day Paddy Antoinette.

Never went back to the gaudy wildflowers. More subdued in the abandoned orchard.

Before and after in my old wildflower meadow. From about 20 years ago.

I like Jimi. When asked what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world he said he didn’t know, they’d have to ask Rory Gallagher. Here’s a statue of Rory from a few miles away.

Some archaeology sits on the landscape while some is the landscape like these Sweathouses I found in Leitrim.

The birds went quiet, then came back. Not great shots.

Had no filters! Needed the clouds. Good atmosphere.

Ian’s position as Astronomer Royal to the Void is under review after he told fellow members to watch the eclipse by holding two magnifying glasses in front of their eyes.

Two pods of dolphins in the bay tonight.

Morning Ian. Glory be to physics for dappled seas.

Cynthia and myself have finally agreed! Here’s the proof.

I don’t post on Facebook but felt I owed it to the folk who’d asked about this place to go and find it.

There was fuck all. Three tied farm gates and a trek in confusing country. Nearly give up! Will go back as there’s a fine photo of something I didn’t find from yonks ago.

Went out to see The Druid’s altar. Irelands fourth largest megalithic site. A confusion of clabber and gutters and shrubberies. Not a single sign. Magical.

The workhouse at Ballyshannon really does belong in the future.

Morning Cynthia. Still wrestling with Creevykeel. Getting annoyed now!

Here’s the Hag’s rock close to me. Impressive and little known.

Pharoonic delusions of the bigliest grave in Limerick? Morning Éanna. Got offered this wee gem and for less than I’d paid for a 2nd. Hand one 46 years ago in Amsterdam.

It’s one of these. (This is a small area)

This is a funny riposte more than a rude one!

Before I gre up to be a teenager I had a job whitewashing the last dying cottages on the mountain. I didn’t know then that it would be both the best job I ever had and a metaphor. (If you know, you know)
