 What brilliant photos'.

My g/father had a pony and trap which he used to park outside a pub in the Isle of Man,and if the old man was drunk,he'd get thrown into the trap and someone would slap the ponys' behind and it would trot home.

You can understand why they call it the Emerald Isle. I've never seen such beautiful shades of green.

Morning steve

The South of Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on earth and you must have heard of the song "Forty Shades Of Green."  I believe the North is beautiful too but never visited that part of Ireland.

Alias not the same as a Gypsy wagon more of a cart type with seats but not covered not good when it is raining but it enables one to see the beautiful scenery better unless things have changed many years since I visited.

Steve knows my brand of humour,I hope. ;D ;D I wouldn't touch a book full of smut,don't see the point.

I might see if there's one of CC's books left. A secondhand one will do me too. Those antiseptic wipes are useful as I usually give books a good wipe if I get the 3 for a £1 jobs.
