The Blackrock end of Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork. Michael Jackson, U2 and err, not sure who else have played in this stadium as well as the obvious GAA matches!

The sign points the way to Blarney or Blarna in Irish. If you’re interested, that’s pronounced “blawrnah”

Stuck in the middle with you

Potted Flowers
Flowers in a garden centre, probably the one out in Inniscarra.
In the new year I’m sorely tempted to change the posting frequency on this blog from daily to every third day. Blogging should bring pleasure and be a means of expressing oneself while stimulating your audience and improving oneself. I have so little time to post that I do a quick 5 minute job on most photos, write a one line post and hit “Publish”.
