The of the future show off in Tuam a few days before the real deal play at St Jarlaths College. If you plan on attending I'd suggest you might drive as the train doesn't look like a wise option. Tuam stadium looks like it must have when Stockwell & Purcell were ripping defences apart in the 50s and 60s

Maybe not the best week to be wearing the green and gold on the Walls of Derry but the wonderful local folk took it well and gave loads back. 💛💚

Liam Highgins the golfer meets Liam Higgins the raconteur today in Waterville. He says I can tell people that it's my club the next time I call here.

Years ago on an online photography course it was suggested to me to leave the camera settings at, or as close to, Iris open to 18 - shutter @ 125 & ISO @ 100. I figured these people had never lived in Ireland, as our ever changing weather means constant adjustments to the settings, as well as refocusing and reframing, is the order of the day. That's not the case down under though. These are the skies that those instructors had thrived under. And why wouldn't they. P.S. The marsupial/rodent is a quokka and they only inhabit the island of Rottnest, which is just a 20km ferry trip from Perth.

I love sunsets and it's hard to beat them in Western Australia

A lovely cycle found to Freo where I got the tour of the famous prison. John Boyle O'Reilly was the first man to escape from here in 1869 on board the Gazelle. He promises to spring some of his fellow irish political prisoners and in 1876 he did just that with the help of the whaling ship, the Catalpa. 6 men including John Devoy escaped, this bringing the eventual number of escapees to 7, and all Irish.

2 of Istanbul's most famous landmarks are only 150 metres apart. The Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern were both constructed during the 6th century reign of Byzantium Emperor Justinian I. The Hagia began as a Greek Orrhodox church 'til the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Cistern is the largest of hundrerds that lie beneath the city, as it has no natural fresh water access. The sharp eyed observer will recognise it from movie action scenes with Sean Connery as 007 in From Russia with Love and Tom Hanks in Dan Brown's Inferno.. ........Tom Hanks has got nothing on me! 😉 #007

Istanbul. Constantinople. Istanbul. Constantinople. Big oul town in fairness.

Beautiful day for Corrán Tuathail climb all the way up 'O'Shea's Gully, behind our own mountain goat from Marian Park, but the fog set in just before we reached the peak. The descent down a wet Devil's ladder takes a certain kind of loonitic.

Lovely hike up Cnoc Bréanainn from the Faha side yesterday. Misty bit mild. **le

Béal na Bláth. The ultimate ambush site. It's a lovely shrine to visit in the last few days of the 100 year anniversary. Poor oul Mick Collins never stood a chance. Taken out by his own in his own county. Isn't there something so very Cork about that?

Lá an Dreoilín ar fheabhais aréir. Many thanks to the Malones, the Granvilles and our captain Pa**ie for keeping the tradition going. It was uplifting to see so many young tin whistlers in the blue and white yesterday. Go mbeirimíd beo an am seo arís I '23. Hup Sráid Eoin 💙🤍

A memorable Saturday was enjoyed in Templemore last week when an eclectic bunch of Di**le folk mixed with a boisterous & welcoming Tipp gang to celebrate the wedding of & . A hugely entertaining day. **le

Savage day to be in Kilkenny yesterday for the food festival. A number of vendors familiar to the Di**le food fest too. Thankfully the rain held off by the Nore.

The village of Cleggan in Western Connemara with the Inis Bofin ferry about to dock. Translates as 'headland' or 'forehead'. Croagh Patrick can be seen in the distance of pic 3. On a clear day the outline of Cnoc Bréanainn can be made out too.

On a tour in Connemara yesterday we visited the gorgeous tidal island of Omey, in the Western side near Claddaghduff. Access is only at low tide via vehicle or foot. Wonderful archaeological sites from 6th century churches to ancient burial grounds. Shoes and socks were removed for the return hike as the tide filled fast.

I was warned with the PSNI unless I took the drone down here about 10 days ago. I explained that as long as I took off from outside National Trust property than I was outside their jurisdiction. As they, or the National Trust, don't own the air!! She wasn't at all happy and was going a bit Arlene Foster so I just landed the feckin thing.

If you find yourself looking for something to do while in Connemara than a visit to Tom Nee and is time well spent. Tom gives a great insight into the life of a sheep farmer in Ireland of 2022, while his border collies put on some show. All overlooking Ireland's only fjiord, the majestically beautiful Killary Harbour.

Gorgeous sunset in Belfast last week. The glorious City Hall with Samson & Goliath, the big wheel at the botanical gardens and the Inst school all visible.
