From the bus station, up the hill, coffee and cake in the alley, mmm, main road, turn left, up the hill until you see the sign, down the hill to the right to the hall. Bring your own goodies? Ah, the “More coffee and cake?” is out the back with a nice smoking area for us oldies. Why? Because Cork is just a big village, a bit bigger than Castlemartyr, and Enniskillen, well, it’s the local market town, same as Midleton, though thankfully they put their castle up the hill from the river, same as the castle in Carrigtwohill, home of the Fitzgeralds. That Midleton crowd, Cromwellian blow ins, didn’t marry well at all, all wanted near to the road. Wikipedia “A Spanish expeditionary force was defeated by English forces at the Battle of Kinsale in 1601. O’Neill and his allies eventually surrendered to the new Stuart King, James I, in 1603.” Colman? Questions? What would you like answered? Enniskillen was made a town in 1620. That hill any good? Well, I wouldn’t be moving the church any? St. Macartin’s Cathedral Enniskillen “Our  church was designed to be part of new town of Enniskillen that was created in the years following 1611 on the orders of King James the First of England.” “…was eventually extended and by 1832 it was demolished…” The Air photos were excellent too. Enniskillen was in the 32 counties, which I was constitutionally obliged to protect, until our constitutional amendment. I’m retired. I read. Comics too. Signed_Colman_04Nov2023.

Yes, that’s the temperature at night in November, Wicklow is a large granite rock covered in nice wet bog, it takes time to cool down.
