Fermanagh

I spent a night at The Watermill Lodge near Lisnaskea. This was the view from my room

Ghosts

Just playing about with some camera settings.

Me and a ghost

Football, football, football

All I hear is football. I fucking hate it. July 10th can't come soon enough.

Ballycrochan

Star Wars

My son Martyn got chatting with the barman  in Farren's when we were in Donegal last week. As mentioned in a previous post Mark Hamill had visited the bar. As a souvenir he left a stormtrooper boot signed 'Forcefully yours'. Here's a shot of Martyn with the boot

This is Ireland

A tail of a snail

Some people drive LIKE snails - this guy drives WITH one

Gumby (garden planning) update

The stuff growing in the greenhouse and the raised bed is now coming on really well. We've had our first strawberries and a few gooseberries and a feed of home-grown peas. The broad beans are nearly ready too and my potato plants look like trees. All my other bits and pieces are doing really well too. Such a contrast from last year

 

Donegal break

Martyn and I spent a couple of days in Donegal checking out a B&B for future visits. I managed to get plenty of photos and Martyn got to visit Malin Head, where part of the new Star Wars movie was filmed and also Farren's Bar, Ireland's most northerly inn where Mark Hamill paid a visit

Big Yellow Tree

It's May, the time of year when the big Laburnum tree in my garden comes to life with yellow flowers that bloom for only a few days.
