The Blarney Stone Restaurant
The Blarney Stone Restaurant We’re just back from Blairs Inn in Cloghroe. I can definitely recommend that establishment. I don’t know about this place. To judge by the mail on the ground inside the door I’d say it’s shut for the winter.

Mackey’s in Blarney
Mackey’s in Blarney Mackey’s is a restaurant in Blarney which I have yet to visit. To be honest, I haven’t been to most of the establishments around here and don’t expect to call to this one any time soon. Their prices are just a little expensive. In the reflection you can see The Muskerry Arms,…

Running Through Rain
Running Through Rain We were sitting in the car waiting to pick up someone off the bus when it started raining. Suddenly, this girl ran flying past with a big gleeful smile on her face! Unfortunately, she turned her head to look back at her parents just as she passed!

Man in the hat
Man in the hat While in Wilton Shopping Center after having my eye looked at I spotted the man in the hat talking to an elderly woman. I only had my Panasonic FZ5 with me but it’s got a good zoom and a great image stabilizer! He broke out into a big grin moments after…

Patrick Street Lights
Patrick Street Lights Car lights become abstract lasers of light along the main street of Cork City. In unrelated news, this morning I had to go to the hospital because something got stuck underneath the eyelid of my left eye yesterday. I could feel it there, my eye was weeping, it was sore and annoying.…
