The Murals of Derry
13. August 2023 in Nordirland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

ReisenderI will pay attention, because I will be there in 4 weeks time on the west coast.
Vegan EV TravellersOh no... What a pity... I missed Paul last week and now you... But we only go to Galway and then across to Dublin. I did the south west a few years ago.
