A Visit To A Woolshop In The Rain.

There's no Heat wave in Ireland at the moment.  I think our Summer was a couple of weeks in June?

We had a ride out on Saturday to Tralee in County Kerry and someone decided we would look on Google maps on their mobile phone to find a wool shop, like you do!

Google maps tooks us through street wide and narrow and round and around again.  Then we asked some in another wool shop if they could tell us where the other wool shop was and they said it was across the road and down a street or two:

Old Crimea  and India memorial at Tralee Court House.





Murals painted of old shops and their characters.
A real Cobbler working.  Something you rarely see these days like pie shops and old fashioned fish and chips shops or even Greggs.
The wool shop destination.  Very reasonably priced wool.

It was a way of passing a wet Saturday afternoon in July.  It felt more like September than July.

  1. Interesting photos Dave, particularly like to see the memorials to the men lost in the Crimean and Indian wars of the 1800s. Often forgotten about. The weather here is unsettled and harvest is as I predicted in June, a grab it while you can when the sun shines. Not good for the farmers but these summers come all too often. I see Mbappe is much in the news as to where he will go after PSG.

  2. Thanks Rachel. I chose the Crimea memorial picture because Crimea is still in the news even now. It's a very mixed summer here. Mbappe is the Ronaldo, Pele, Messi, Best of the modern game. I wish United could afford him. Four goals in a world cup final and on the losing side

  3. Those murals are great aren't they? Very clever and will bring a smile to anyone's face I would imagine.

  5. I love the murals too. And if your part of the world is chilly, well, a visit to the woolshop was warranted! She was thinking only of you.

  6. Glad you like them Debby. Any relationship is a compromise and we found some interesting places on our walk. Thanks.

  7. Did you see The Rose of Tralee when you were in Tralee? Rumour has it that she's as tempting as a battered cod.
