Our "home" for the next three weeks -
The balcony with Dublin Bay in the background
This is the seaside town of Wexford
We thought that this was definitely worth noting.... it was
exactly what it said it was!!! No smoking, but grass
is OK.... This is one very strange country.
After the roadblock and a lot of driving we got to see these extremely skilled craftsmen at work....
Grinding a bowl from one of 200 designs these guys have in their heads.
Several pieces on display from the artisans' imaginations... how
did they get the
colour inside this piece???
This is Waterford's logo.... the inside curl of the tail tail is the outline of a shamrock.....
Mussenden Temple and surrounding area
The Temple itself
Perched at the very edge of the cliff
Windblown Marsha
A long way down (and back up again)
Strange indeed!!! These are not paving stones placed there for walking on... they're totally natural
Every town with more than three houses, a church and a pub also has a Chinese takeout restuarant...
Carrickfergus Castle Images
Marsha would have been just the right height in the 12th century...
If you are wondering (and who wouldn't?) where the result of
this apparently strenuous activity ended up,
it was outside. Three latrines in the castle opened to the sea. The tides took
care of the rest.
The Linen Museum and the Jacquard Loom
The punched cards are fed from the pile on the right, up through
the loom mechanism and back to a pile
right underneath.
