customer service

the clean up crew

watching and waiting until the people leave their table

once they left, the clean up crew went to work.  A few extra flew in to help.  They are a very efficient crew and left nothing not even a crumb.

fordson major diesel tractor

came across this beauty of a tractor in an alley. 

Between 1917 and 1922, the Fordson was for tractors somewhat like the Ford Model T was for automobiles—it captured the public's imagination and widely popularized the machine, with a reliable design, a low price affordable for workers and farmers, a widespread dealership network, and a production capacity for large numbers. Just as the Model T helped the public to appreciate how soon cars and trucks might replace most horses in transport, the Fordson helped people to appreciate how soon tractors might replace most horses in farming.

All info from Wikipedia

Fordson production occurred in the U.S. (1917–1928); Cork, Ireland (1919–1923 and 1928–1933); and at Dagenham, Essex, England (1933–1964). Tens of thousands of Fordsons, most from the U.S. and some from Ireland, were exported to the Soviet Union from 1920 to 1927. Soviet Fordson clones were also built at Leningrad from 1924 and at Stalingrad from 1930.

Ballinrobe's Market House and Court House

The current, prominently sited Market House, was rebuilt c 1752, and has a Sapper’s mark on the exterior, and also has a Victorian post box, now over painted in green.   The original post-box would have been painted red and still retains Queen Victoria’s 1819-1901 crest.   The District Courtroom was housed upstairs until recently.   The lower storey would have been open to the elements with windows only being inserted at a later date.

According to Mayo County Councils listed building register no 10, this is a “good example of a large two story building with five bays and a small pediment with a Diocletian window and clock.   Although the building has been converted into a public house, it has successfully retained much of its character, with such features as the original slated roof complete with lead ridges and louvered topknot.”  The Courthouse was upstairs with the market held at the open loggia on the ground floor.

vintage car rally

There was a vintage car rally in town on Sunday.  It was very crowded and I got a few photos before I left.  I'm not a big fan of cars but there were some that I did like and this MG was one of them.  The rest of the cars  below, I don't have a clue what make they are so if anyone knows that would be great.  I understand that there are rallies going on all summer in different towns so these people will probably show up in one of them.
