A hungry, scrawny cat came up to us while walking around Schull in Co. Cork last weekend. The poor thing was crying for food and affection. This was the first time Adam saw a real cat and he was delighted but we had to leave the poor thing to fend for itself.
I discovered that the Irish name of the town called Schull is Scoil Mhuire , a much nicer name IMO. In English that would be Marys School , or more likely, St. Marys School . West Cork is so beautiful but the basterdisation of Irish names is shocking. I even saw a sign for a town called Snámh which had been translated as Snave . Snámh is the verb, to swim in English. Perhaps the town was created by an English landlord and named Snave first and then named Snámh by the Irish?
PS. Congrats to fellow Mallow Camera Club member, David Lavery, who left his comfortable 9-5 day job to become a wedding photographer in Mallow, Co. Cork a year ago today! Not many would take the jump, so I hope hell get that blog rolling and write about his experiences. I know Id like to hear about them!
