IRELAND

 Made it to Armagh in the North..
Apart from the lovely hostess who is so like like my Granny with a sweet Irish accent. Air bnb turns up some gooduns.
So I walked the town to my amusement they still have tractors up and down the main street carrying hay and stock and what all.
So I was in a bar and asked the chap what's the town like..."a shit hole" he replied but what followed his sad comment really made me smile because up the street outside was a trail of cow manure from a passing stock truck.
Armagh is like small town everywhere. Mainly coffee shops and hairdressers. The small farm support industry left when the motorways came and the towns are shrinking by the day.
We have a day of reckoning coming for sure. The people are going to rebel against big brother demanding more rules on how we live and more money for nothing..
I spoke with the caretaker at the local Cathedral. He told me they couldn't allow the organ to be played outside church services without an entertainment license and a fee.
No comment is necessary. But I am really saddened by the silence in the cathedrals with these wonderful organs stilled by beauracracy.
There ye go !
