There are so many old castles and gaols in Ireland that it's difficult to keep track of them. This one was spotted today in Wexford.
Door-knocking in the picturesque town of New Ross
You don't mess with Normans.
We stopped for lunch at the lovely New Ross waterfront, home of the 'Dunbrody'
Tefillin in Waterford, Ireland's oldest city
More stunning views in the coastal town of Tramore, near Waterford
Another Israeli ponders life in the Emerald Isle. We later visited his house and met his wonderful family.
Dear Editor,
ReplyDeleteMy dear, lovable fiance - Sir Owen J. McOwen - has gone unaccounted for somewhere in the European tract. Please pray for his safe return, for I do love him most dearly.
Yours Truly,

I will most certainly do so, and very nicely thank you.
DeleteSir's name was spotted recently in the guestbook of Senator Silver's estate in Wexford, noted below. Perhaps therein lies an important clue as to his whereabouts.
Faithfully yours and always shall be,

It is a sad day when a gentleman can't even dash away to the Greek isles for a few days, to chew thoughtfully on his crumpet while reading the day's telegrams, without being accused of impersonating his fiancee and generally making a nuisance of himself on the internets.
ReplyDeleteI have assured the erstwhile editor of this blog that it was not I who penned those words, and whilst examining the incriminating comment, I had the distinct pleasure of perusing the rest of the host blog's contents- and by Gad, it is a corker!
Jolly good show you're putting on there, Spud J., and glad to see that you have captured it all in your inimitable style. I shan't comment on your vulgar references to a Republic and other such nonsense, but it was well worth it for me to remove my swimming trunks and slip into my reading jacket and dive- dive, I say- into your wonerful world.
Much luck in your travels, old chap.
Sir Owen J. McEwan
Sir Owen,
DeleteThank you for your good wishes.
A certain acquaintance of ours is no doubt enjoying an immensely good laugh at the moment, but we shall soon have the last word.
Enjoy your travels on the road to Rhodes; I know you will.
Long live the Republic!
The editor
