skywatch friday

morning in Moville.  The awning you see up the road with the blue back is the veg man and his trailer.  The man crossing the street has his veggies for the week.  The tree is where people gather to meet for everything.  It's known as "The Tree". :)

blue sky and a bird

looking down at the rooftops of Moville from the recycle area.  That's the UK across Lough Foyle.  The blue sky is from Wed, now we are back to cloudy and rain. :(

the parade

commenced and there was no rain just cold temps and wind.  Behind the people were trucks with bunting, fire engines, ambulances and a few tractors, all with ads for their services.   The people walking looked cold but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Another fun small community event, well done by everyone.

AIB Mobile Bank

Opening the mobile bank.  There used to be a branch here in town before I moved here and it closed.  This gentleman will be standing on the sidelines and chatting with the locals once they come by and stop to say hi.  The bank does close for an hour for lunch  12:30-1:30.

Allied Irish Banks has four mobile Community Banks which cover over 30 rural locations in Donegal, Mayo, Limerick, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Tipperary and Galway.  This mobile comes every Wednesday to Moville.  It opens at 11:15 and leaves town at 3:30.

an unexpected surprise

When I left my house this morning for my walk, I headed up the hill as I usually do.  Suddenly, I heard someone saying good morning.  So I turned around to say hi and was surprised at who I saw.  I laughed and said, "I wasn't expecting  to see you today."  He laughed and said that "he had some things to check on before his big trip." A quick photo so I would know that it wasn't a dream and off we went to begin our day

River Bredagh Bridge

is a traditional stone bridge, argued by many to be one of Ireland’s oldest bridges. The bridge itself is thought to date from the 6th Century and according to legend was built by St Patrick who stopped here on his way to a nearby ancient site at Cooley.

skywatch friday - different style

not your typical Irish house, reminds me of Southern California with all those trees.

getting organized

this gentleman just came from the grocery store which is across from where he is standing.  I assume he is gathering his groceries so he can return the trolley.
