What it could be like . . .
This morning's weather was the worst Irish summer day I can remember, even the DART line was flooded. Last January, in the depths of winter, we had blue sky and sunshine, and Killiney Bay looked Mediterranean.

Seen on the DART
Suppose we should be grateful that it's by artists and not the local literary society

Installation art in Ballybrack
For a limited period there is an installation at the Church Road-Killiney Avenue junction.The rusting road roller, symbol of a modern Ireland obsessed with roads and cars, is slowly being absorbed by the natural untamed growth of weeds signifying the ancient Irish elements of fertility and death.
Limited edition prints signed by the artist are available on request.

High Ham Days
Back in Somerset from 19th to 23rd March, I took pictures one evening to refresh my memory.The hydrants were painted every year on our road.
The Victorian school was demolished in the '80s to make way for an excellent new place
The 'phone box still remains from the days when I used it
The village church is originally Norman.
The soft stone doesn't weather well.
On the few occasions I was at church, I used to sit and stare at this sculpture - I think it's Jesus!
Looking eastwards - the rood screen is 500 years old
The east window
Looking westwards
The roll of those who fell 1914-1918
I used to think this was an old master!

Mobile interruptions
There seems nowhere that one can go without the mobile phone cutting on, causing complete obliviousness to even having a camera a short distance away.
