Football players have left their bus and are standing on the road beside a hearse
bearing a coffin The bus has rear-ended the hearse . This is a meme based on the supposed” Mayo Curse” which was said to be on the Mayo team for disrespecting a funeral. It was said the county would never win as long as a member of that was alive .

We tie horses up here with head collars and lead ropes, using a quick release knot in case of emergencies. My Connemara Cob cross was able to undo the knot and sneak off . We had to resort to using a few ropes to confound him

A grey 18 year old horse, stable name Bob the Cob, stands tied up to a wall in a stable yard in Ireland . He is wearing a head collar and one lead rope, a second rope trails in the background, ready to be attached to the head collar to stop him escaping .
His ears are forward and he is looking intently towards the feed shed in anticipation of some hard feed ( oats , beet pulp and alfalfa mixed with molasses)

A flag flies at the roadside with Dingle Harbour, Co. Kerry, Ireland in the background. The flag has text in the Irish language which translates as “ Free Palestine .” A signpost beneath the flag points the way to a burial ground , apt , when we think of the slaughter in Palestine .

On it .Bikinis are too flimsy, a “ swim dress “ with moulded “ support” is far superior . No driftwood , but plenty fence stakes to borrow .

The two lighthouse keepers’ cottages on Arranmore island in Donegal are available to rent as well. Nothing quite stepping outside your back door and walking a few steps to the tower . As a bonus , we were there during a severe storm last year.

Sunshine and rainbows on one side of the Conor Pass . Grey clouds and mist on the other . It’s as well we don’t come to Dingle for the weather , though we did get a chance to swim before the hurling .

It struck me as more “ kitschy “ than religious.

Underground room , part of the “ Temple of Isis .” Foreground has a rug more suited to a child’s playroom. There are also some crudely executed paintings.

Alternative Brigid’s Day : They stole little Bridget For seven years long; When she came down again Her friends were all gone. They took her lightly back, Between the night and morrow, They thought that she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow.”

Lines from the famous poem “ The Faeries” by the poet William Allingham are on part of a mural in his birthplace in Ballyshannon , Co. Donegal.
The text reads Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren’t go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owl’s feather!”
