One of the food trailers at the Skibbereen market on the day I visited in 2019 was "Little Green Shoot". They're on Facebook, but haven't updated since 2020 so they may not be operating any more. A lot has happened since then.

West Cork for Palestine in Skibbereen

While enjoying the market in Skibbereen I spotted a march in support of Palestine and got a few photos. It was West Cork for Palestine marching. They were a small group but made up for it in noise and their presence.

If anyone has recommendations for lovely #libraries
in #Beijing or #Seoul, please send them my way.

After I shared photos of library in Madison, WI, very kind Mastodon Irish person (@psneeze) sent me amazing look (VR!!) at a small Irish library that I plan to see one day. I prepared my cousins and sister for "stop the car" or "I need to pop out"...#skibbereen librarian was super friendly, had a great display for LGBTQ stuff, etc.

that's a lot of hashtags for me ;)

I am delighted to have an article in this year's Journal of the Cork Historical & Archaeological Society on the Rev. Edward Spring and his mission to Roaring Water Bay. Next Wednesday, 25 October at 8pm, I will deliver a talk on this topic to the Skibbereen Historical Society in the O’Donovan Rossa GAA Pavilion, Skibbereen. See https://tinyurl.com/4cuf5y4k

When Storm Agnes hits #WestCork tomorrow it will be a great consolation that it is named after a #Skibbereen born astronomer who has a crater on the moon named after her.
A self-taught Irish astronomy writer, Agnes Mary Clerke contributed significantly to the popular astronomy literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"There are buildings sitting empty in the middle of Skibbereen for 30 years, and it’s the middle of a housing crisis" - #Skibbereen, a town that was once the ultimate symbol of #famine, tackles #hoarding and #dereliction https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-41204239.html

I went on a 'Sketch Crawl' led by Caroline Boyfield as part of the Skibbereen Arts Festival. I have not opened a sketchbook for months and don't often sketch 'plein air' so it was an interesting outing with a small group of people. Location here is behind Abbystrewery Church in Skibbereen.

Another view of the standing stones at Foherlagh, between #Ballydehob and #Skibbereen in #WestCork, which are featured in my masthead. This time the view to the west with Mount Gabriel on the Mizen Peninsula dominating the horizon.

An old postcard (unfortunately undated) that lampooned the service provided by the #Skibbereen to #Schull Tramway. The journey from Skibbereen to Schull, of just over 15 miles, with stops at stations along the way, took in the region of 80 minutes. The tramway operated between 1886 and 1947.

#MayDay2023 #InternationalWorkersDay is an opportune time to remember Marian Barry (1871-1921). A native of #Skibbereen, #Cork, #Ireland, she was a #TradeUnion organiser who campaigned for #WomensRights and against War. To learn more see https://tinyurl.com/4myxuysa

The twelve arch viaduct at Ballydehob was constructed as part of the Skibbereen to Schull tramway. This rare image of it in use was taken by W.A. Camwell and appeared in the Railway Magazine of May 1940.

A shot of the interior of the old church at Creagh, located between Skibbereen and Baltimore in West Cork. It was built in 1810 and went out of use in the 1990s. This image was taken several years ago and sadly since then the building has deteriorated even further. Currently the windows are boarded up.
