Everyone else was watching the game but we went down to Garretstown this evening instead. On the way back we were delighted to see a beautiful sunset!

We’re off to the Midleton Food & Drink Festival later. Sounds like good fun and I’ll have plenty of snaps with my new lens! (more)
There’s another vintage rally happening down near Macroom tomorrow which is where we’ll head.
Looks like lots more to do this week and until the end of the year too!
This week being heritage week there’s lots of events on! There’s everything from guided tours of lighthouses to re-enactments of the American Civil War at Charles Fort, to displays of 16th century weapons that ravaged Munster at the time!
Next Saturday is when An Ceile Mor 2005 will take place! Over 10,000 people will gather on 7 stages on Grand Parade and South Mall to dance the Siege of Ennis in an attempt to break a world record!

Fun Lovin’ Criminals will play in the Savoy, Patrick St. Cork on the 7th September.
We took a trip down to Ballycotton this evening and met some friends down there for a leisurely walk. Here’s a few photos from the excursion:



I met Mark Twomey and AJ last night to take shots of the Danmark again. She sails tomorrow at 10am so I might pop into town for half an hour and record her departure if I find the time.



I was in town this morning, and spotted sailors walking around in dress uniform. They were from the Danmark, which is currently docked in Cork Harbour. Here are some shots of Cork, and this beautiful tall ship!
Following on from the fireworks in Cobh and my look around the Jeanie Johnston, here’s some photos of the late-night concert that took place in Cobh town center.
The crowd went a little mad dancing and singing along to this crazy looking band! Anyone know who they are? More photos after the jump..
It’s been a busy weekend. I went down to Cobh tonight to see the firewords and capture the mood of the people in photos.. Everyone was in great form and the fireworks were a great end to the Regatta.
This is part 1 of a 2 part series of shots. Part 2 comes tomorrow and will have pictures from inside the Jeanie Johnston (Thanks Donogh and Ronan!) and shots of the band that played the night away…
Ryan was there too, and he has some stunning shots of the fireworks and the fairground!
Update! This blog was mentioned on Red FM a few minutes ago! I emailed them but didn’t honestly expect to hear anything back! Great!
