Gangsters
Gangster’s Barbers, somewhere in London. I couldn’t tell you where. Matt was driving.
Chemin des chutes
A waterfall near where I’m staying in Quebec. To get to here you need to descend about 100m of steep steps but there are frequent observation platforms to observe the waterfall. On the way back up, those platforms were a welcome break from the hard slog of climbing. My legs were like jelly by the…
Wait For Me!
A pigeon in Cork, somewhere. I’m in Quebec. It’s raining a bit but hopefully I’ll get out this morning for a look around. Luggage still hasn’t arrived, but someone rang at 2am to say it would be delivered here. Yay.

St Patrick and the Volkswagen

Blarney Sunrise
Sunrise, as seen from my home office here in Blarney about 3 weeks ago. The weather was great in September. Much better than it was in August.
North Cathedral Framed
The North Cathedral, Cork as seen from a window of St. Anne’s Tower or Shandon Bells.
Good night?
No matter what state the economy, the pubs are still full and there’s plenty of drinking.
