I did the full cliff walk today.
All the way around to Howth Harbour. View attachment 132042This Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island in the background.
The day is so clear, behind Lambay you can see the Mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland.

Howth? I thought you had had to have so much in your bank account to even walk through the place?

That predictive text does my head in.
That should read Balscadden. Bay.

Yes you need a few Bob to live in Howth, but you’d want to see the Sutton side of the head and the back gardens leading down to the cliffs.

It’s something else. Serious money.
The cliff walk and summit walk is open to plebs like me though.

And my reward at the end of a long long walk.
Deluxe Seafood Chowder in the Brass Monkey in Howth.

You’re living right !

I'm picturing a garda squad car shadowing you as you walked through the area. And lace curtains twitching like crazy.

Cheers for these.

I'm with my mate looking at them now and comparing the changes.

no worries, mate.

back then, of course, there was no internet or owt.
my german friend, jenny kruger, got a postcard from germany...
<something big is happening! get out here now!>
she asked me if i'd go with her because it was a bit scary.
next day we went into town to a travel agency,
booked a flight for the following day.
she was paying, how could i refuse?
proper anarchists, what what,
staying in a 5 star hotel helping to reunite germany :)

i've got more pics if you're interested.
they're not as exciting
(because i'm not in them, haha)
but might add some more idea of what things were like at that moment in history.
it really was a mental thing to be involved in and witness.

here's some more...

made a sculpture out of fallen rocks.
(i know, i know, fucking artists!)
nearly did my back in.



had to laugh when my dear mother fell over herself though,
she's not doing so bad for an 80 yr old

only an artist would get this cheeky bit of small graffiti
