There’s a fabulous mural on the corner of Kyle Street and Cornmarket Street in Cork.

The River Martin flows through the grounds of Blarney Castle under stone and wood bridges and of course under the canopy of overhanging trees. Blarney Castle today in glorious sunshine.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The owner of this pink Cadillac took part in the Blarney parade in 2016! No parade this year. The village was very quiet this evening when I went for a walk there.

Jumping in the air. Grand Parade.

I remember being amused at the amount of vapour that comes from e-cigarettes in the past but now it just shows how much droplets and vapour spread out from a person’s mouth and nose when they breathe deeply.

Two skateboarders on Grand Parade, again. This time back in 2016 on the second day of the year.

Skateboards and photos on the Grand Parade.

Debenhams, a large retailer in the UK and Ireland closed last year with the loss of thousands of jobs. Workers in Ireland were promised 4 weeks pay per year of service rather than the statutory 2 weeks as that had been agreed between the company and their union, Mandate. The workers are seeking redundancy terms…

Liam Ruiséal’s shop is closed for some time now after trading in the same corner for more than 100 years. In 2018 you could still see books in there but they were advertising their final reductions. Here’s Health will be moving in there this year. The Golden Pages still has the number of the shop….

I don’t often see robins in the garden but this guy visited us about a month ago.
