A sight well known to anyone who lives in Cork City. The Spire of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells stands like a beacon. The Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne is just off shot to the right, out of this shot. The County Hall can be seen far off in the distance out…
Who rules this house? The animals do! Diego, our tiny chihuahua, sits in a bed sometimes claimed by one of our cats, Hoppy. She was very unhappy that Diego was in there. He’s the king of all he sees. Isn’t he handsome in his new jacket? It’s lovely and warm and made with love by…

A banner above the carpark off Grand Parade proclaims, “WE’RE WITH YOU UKRAINE”.
