Taking to the road next week to cycle #Eurovelo 1 from #Belfast to #Sligo. As well as the route shown if the weather behaves a little I’m going to add loops of the Sperrins, Inishowen & Boa island (I want to see the ‘Janus’ statues. if it’s glorious I might even head back to a couple of favourite wild camping spots

I intend to finish the two other ‘missing’ sections of #EV1 in Ireland over the summer so that in the winter I can create a full set of videos of every part

Düsterer Mittwoch in Hazelwood, Lough Gill, Sligo, Irland 🕯 Moody day on Wednesday at Hazelwood, Lough Gill, Sligo, Ireland #Ireland #Irland #photo #foto #Möwen #seagulls #sligo #LoughGill

Last night I learnt that #Calvinist #Scotland banned #Christmas in the #17thcentury.

Both my parents were #Irish #Presbyterians of Scottish descent. They celebrated #Xmas.

So tiday I asked my aged mother about anti-Xmas. Her family did Xmas, but the Presbyterian Church in #Sligo didn't. She says it was only in the 1940s that my grandfather persuaded the Sligo Presbyterians to hold a service on #ChristmasDay.

I escaped #Presbyterianism >40yrs ago. But I'm still learning how weird it is.

I made this photograph of an #alignment of #Megalithic monuments, a stone circle, a passage tomb, and the grave of Queen #Maeve atop #Knocknarea seen from #Carrowmore, #Sligo, IE, on April 25, 2007 using old technology, a Canon PowerShot A710 IS. Today, I used #gimp 3 to convert it to black and white using different settings than last time I posted it.

WB Yeats died on 28 January 1939 in the Hôtel Idéal Séjour, in Menton, France, aged 73. He was initially buried at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in south-eastern France. In September 1948 his body was moved to the churchyard of St Columba's Church, Drumcliff, County Sligo, on the Irish Naval Service corvette Lé Macha. Seán MacBride was in charge of this operation for the Irish Government.
