Thanks for following! Glad you liked Ardmore post - of course it's usually raining there so I took advantage of the sunny day to go mad with the camera. You mustn't live too far from there if you went there for days out as a kid!The Perks Amusements are long gone now though - I remember bringing my older boys there when we were on home leave from Africa.<br />Happy days!Catherine<br />All the best, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-69749054052084738242010-04-28T21:25:57.077+01:002010-04-28T21:25:57.077+01:00Wow look at that, sunshine in Ardmore!?

I will call by your blog and leave a note often. Yes, this was one of those carpe diem days that call out to be grabbed and enjoyed! Well if you got to Ring that was nice too, I work there and all round it so I should know, Helvick is particularly lovely and I have lots of photos of that whole area in all weathers. Take care, all the best, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-73517956573128588332010-04-18T02:25:06.191+01:002010-04-18T02:25:06.191+01:00STEPHANIE V - yes it is worth a visit and the bonu...STEPHANIE V - yes it is worth a visit and the bonus of my job is days out like this - and to think I get paid too! Anyway, they make up for all the fog-bound days in winter when I don't know where I am! So far spring is lovely - not sure if that's good or bad as it seems to be preventing this Icelandic ash cloud from dissipating, though we had no overcast days here - yet. Ireland is really cut off from the rest of the planet with being an island nation with not enough ferries.<br />All the best, Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-58046107098779645682010-04-18T02:22:12.475+01:002010-04-18T02:22:12.475+01:00Thanks for the comments -

Someone compiled the best answers in Two FMs Just a minute quiz (not to be confused with the BBC just a minute quiz!) - Larry Gogan hosts this with a quickfire round of questions in a minute to a caller - some of the funniest (if not quite PC!)Q:What star to travellers follow?<br />A: eh, Joe Dolan? (think about it!) <br />Q: What was Hitler's first name?<br />A: Heil<br />And this from a real councillor - "The idea is well and good in theory but tell me this, who is going to feed them?" One councillor objecting to putting gondolas on Blessington Lake in a bid to boost tourism.<br />It spawned the hit TV panel show in the 90s - Don't feed the Gondolas with Seán Moncrieff - I loved it! <br />These deserve a post of their own... now there's an idea for one!<br />All the best, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-88264056405223864022010-04-15T19:31:26.415+01:002010-04-15T19:31:26.415+01:00Hello Catherine, I've come her via Ciara at Mi...Hello Catherine, I've come her via Ciara at Milkmoon. Love your pictures of Ardmore- even though I've heard loads about it (including a special offer radio ad today!) I've never been. I think my only foray into Waterford was Ring, and that was good!Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100985140335023467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-75885164445686988222010-04-15T16:37:54.389+01:002010-04-15T16:37:54.389+01:00Oh, it's a beautiful place, Catherine. I'...Oh, it's a beautiful place, Catherine. I'm looking forward to seeing it one day. Regrets for a too short vacation last year!<br />Your ability to be out and about on the job made me smile. My former daycare work involved transporting out-of-school 5 year-olds to playtime spots. We were frequently at the beach - in all weathers - when others were grinding away in their offices. <br />I'm glad your spring has been so lovely...we've also been having a few pretty days.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-50940144415936420062010-04-15T15:05:45.041+01:002010-04-15T15:05:45.041+01:00Loved that, -"she said Lismore would be a gra...Loved that, -"she said Lismore would be a grand place if it was somewhere else"! Typical misquote. Enjoyed the photos Catherine. Won't be long before I will be walking that beach myself.
