Sur conseil de Tiphaine, un copain Franco-irlandais en visite à cork, on est allées voir la finale national de hurling. Le hurling, c’est un peu comme du rugby avec un manche de hockey en plus et en plus violent. Assez drôle à voir surtout quand à la fin tous les gens dans les gradins se ruent sur le terrainRead more

Stopped at Blarney. Visited the Blarney Wool Mills which is supposedly the largest in Ireland. The others went on to the castle to kiss the blarney some. Decided this time to renege and get books posted to NZ. On into Cork. The people speak very quickly so I should fit in! Viewed the harbour. Is one of the best harbours in world. Cobh formerly known as Queenstown. The river is very deep and can take ships right into city centre. Cork was only area of Ireland with industry, steel and oil. Both closed down now. Pharmaceutical industry and Apple computers are main industries now. Some of islands have wild life park with rhinos, monkeys contained on island.

Heading down south coast. Middleton home of Irish whisky. Paddy, Powers and Jamieson. Very fertile area, barley for whisky is a main crop.

You gallery -small coastal village with historical background. Walter Raleigh give land here by Elizabeth 1. Rumoured he brought back the Potato. Also brought back tobacco. The harbour is very protected and beautiful begonias fill planter boxes along the streets. From here to Waterford, home of Waterford Crystal. Named because the vikings.Read more

First day it feels like Spring!
February 5, 2020 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
It was freezing this morning, and my car was iced over when I left for work at about 8.20am. It turned out to be a lovely, Spring day though when I emerged from exam supervision after lunch, so I decided to go for a walk around Blackrock.

I feel like I’m finally emerging from part 2 of my chest infection, but I don’t want to run just yet, so I went for an hour’s walk instead.

When I got home, I washed my car and then, spontaneously, went mad cutting loads of stuff back in the garden and generally giving the outdoor areas around the house a tidy.

Moment of the day, however, has to have been when I said “there’s nothing like a nice, real fire” to our neighbour whose house burnt down a few weeks ago. She was coming out to get coal and had been saying to me that she has to light a fire because her central heating is still not working since the fire damage. When I realised what I had said, I almost hastily added “....in a fireplace” but decided just to cut my losses instead!Read more
