Yesterday I took the train from Dublin to Belfast and onwards for a further 11m miles approx 19km to Carrickfergus Co Antrim. The jewel in the Crown there is Carrickfergus Castle which dates from the 12th Century and has been attacked but never destroyed many times over the years. The walls are in places up to 3 metres thick and so sturdy parts of the compound were used as an air raid shelter in the 2nd World War.n

It was the most beautiful day of the year yesterday in Co Clare. At the edge of the Cliffs of Moher I met Padraig Howley from Kilfenora he was busking as you can see. He was friendly and very approachable. We talked about aging and he told me he will be 71 today,wish him a happy birthday. Better still look him up on Tik Tom or Instagram and he will make you smile at his attitude to life

Built as a townhouse for the members of Dublin’s ruling elite, 14 Henrietta Street was divided into 19 tenement flats in 1877, with some 100 people living under its roof by 1911. It remained a tenement house until the last families left in the late 1970s. Find out more on https://14henriettastreet.ie/what-will-you-experience/
