Journal: |
I had a late breakfast during which I had a
long chat with Amanda, the B&B owner, about Ireland, Australia and
life. Then, it was into the village to drop my washing off at
the village laundry (no self-serve here), get a haircut and a shave,
buy and send off some birthday cards to my children, and have a look
around.
This coming Sunday is a big day locally. They
are celebrating the life of Sean McDermott, one of the organisers of
the Irish Rebellion in 1916, who lived in the village early in his
political career and was executed by the British in 2016 for his
part in the rebellion. There are displays throughout the
village and the main street is to be renamed in his honour. It
looks like I've missed the fun by two days!
After collecting
my laundry, I returned to the B&B to catch up on some online work
and planning for the next week. In the evening, I returned to
the village and bought some take-out for dinner, yet again. |
