    Cork always reminds me of home, it has a Cornish landscape to it. In fact, out on the Beara peninsula there are many Cornish mines where we settled to dig for copper. I'm just in the middle of reading a biography of Michael Collins, fine man. Another beautifully made film Derek. Happy and safe travels to you.

      Cheers. There’s actually a song about the Cornish people (sang by Cornish people) that I’ve been waiting to sing in a video 🙈

      Um, wonder if it's 'Cousin Jack' about our emigration, or 'Cornwall my home' there's a few ! Which ever one Derek, I look forward to hearing it in one of your films sometime. Enjoying your spirit and travels as always. Andy. ✌

    Really glad yt suggested this. You’re a sound individual. I’m visiting Galway this fall and I hope to take a few day trips and walks Just explore. Vibe and take in nature without my phone. Would certainly buy you a pint in a min. Best of luck on your journey and serious respect for not wanting any kind of CZcams money. You’re very well spoken and kind. This country brings me comfort like no other.

      I think the sad thing about these old buildings which are historically significant and there are many in Ireland is that no one is bringing them back to their former glory they are just left to rot and decay, it is a crime!
      Surely somebody should have had the foresight to create a charity to tend to these buildings, it is vandalism at a state level!

Needless to say we stuck out the next day going down the road,me on the bar..lol
