I've also visited Waterville. It's a lovely spot. Walking across the golf links I was greeted by four men playing golf. One said I should look out for flying balls. Another said: Do you know who he is? referring to the golfer who had just spoken. I said: No. The four of them then made their way to the next hole without enlightening me. It was one of those strange moments in life. The highlight for me in Waterville was seeing the dolphins offshore. We were there for 3 days and we had glorious sunshine on every one of them.
ReplyDeleteIn fact it only rained on one day out of the 14 days we were in Ireland.
Hi Gwil, Waterville is a pretty seaside resort. Did you ever find out who tha golfer was? I have walked past quite a few famous people here in Ireland and nobody took no notice of them. They are only human after all.
ReplyDeleteIt's back to the rainy season here in Ireland this week. Apparently we get 225 days of rain a year in the West of Ireland. Think that's the main reason I want to live in Portugal. Thanks!
How fantastic is that!
ReplyDeleteHi Sol. It's a wonderful video of a wonderful man. His facial expressions don't need words to show his joy and sadness and laughter. A wonder example of a true rags to riches story and comic genius. Thanks!
