Sadly I have had to ban many from the page. They hit on others with "friend requests" , spout hatred , and try to sell investments or promote products. If you have been contacted by any of these people please let me know privately on [email protected] I don't care what they say about me . My favourite comment so far this year is from Coleen Carron Andres who said listening to me is "like talking to an old friend" ,Thanks for all the support .Paul

Irish weather can be really strange this morning I woke about 5am to torrential rain and wind. It's 4pm in the afternoon here in Dublin City above the River Liffey on Essex/Capel St Bridge and I am reaching for the sun cream. What will the evening bring?

The wind was strong when I arrived in Strandhill a beach resort on The Wild Atlantic Way 15mins from Sligo. I said nothing and just enjoyed the weather and then continued my journey from Derry to Galway.

Just as we were leaving Flagstaff Viewing Point out of nowhere Eoin Mc Auliffe and his family arrived to play a tune in the open air. It was a magical moment.

Good morning take a look at this hidden gem Flagstaff Viewing Point a little off the Dublin Belfast Road. I was there last Saturday and just after I finished the video the magic happened. If you want more I will post the "magic" tomorrow. Please feel free to share any of my videos.

Yesterday I took the train from Dublin to Sathill and Monkstown and walked the coastline via Sandycove and The Forty Foot to Dalkey. I returned by train. There are several trains every hour so there is no need to book.

You may have watched "Bad Sisters" with Eve Birththistle,Sharon Horgan,Eve Hewson and Ann Marie Duff ,today I have arrived at their favourite swimming spot.
Edit- it's Sandycove not Sandymount . The latter is also a swimming area and nearer to Dublin. I had several corrections , thank you.

This evening is St Brigid’s Eve. The tradition is to leave a small piece of clothing or scarf in your garden , it will be blessed by St Brigid when she passes . In Irish folklore, this garment is known as "Bratog Bride "and is a cure for minor ailments.

Brigid is the Irish goddess of spring, fertility, and life.

A few years ago I visited the shrine of St Oliver Plunkett in St Peter's Church in Drogheda a church that always fascinates me. He was a Catholic Martyr who was beheaded for his faith. When I was a child I always called to see his actual head on the altar . Nowadays I go to pray. Blessed Oliver as I refer to him is now St Oliver and is a canonised saint.

I know it's a little risqué but even the Garda (Irish Police ) who were "attacked' see the funny side of it. Original from biggie_the_leonberger on Tik Tok.

I like to go walking during my lunch break. Today I am in Kilkenny and I get a three and a half hour lunch. I made a new friend, I met an old one and stepped out to ring my wife who is over the moon at home . Another friend called with 2 hot cups of coffee and as the power and heating is off now 3 days they were very welcome. She will be baking apple tart all afternoon when the power returns.

Rebuilt in 1902 there is a lot of history in this old church at Agher Co Meath. Dean Swift was the Rector here in 1699. Note also the family mausoleum on the right.

Sometimes Paddywagon send me to Belfast and I stop in Monasterboice where time stands still
