fire starter

the kid had some small branches and was trying to get a fire going.  I guess dad was just supervising if that was his dad.  I don't know if a fire is allowed but I never seen a sign saying no fires permitted.  It's the first one I saw here near the shore walk.

an old notice

seen on the shore walk.  When walking down by the water, you pass this gate.  I always liked this old notice.  Don't know if this was serious when it was first put up or it was a joke.

taking care of business

The cows have now arrived down by the shore walk feasting on the grass.   I wonder if they like the view.

montgomery terrace

Montgomery Terrace overlooks Lough Foyle.  When walking on this street last night there were a few tour buses filled with people. This is one of the stops the buses make for the tourists.  I've seen photos of these houses where almost everyone was a different colour.  I think that would be more attractive but maybe the people who own these buildings didn't think so.

Here's a little background I found about Montgomery:  The Montgomery family association with Moville spans five generations from the early 1700s to the middle of the last century. The Field Marshall’s mother Maud, and father, Henry, are buried at the town’s Church of Ireland graveyard.    Montgomery Terrace was built in 1884 by Robert Montgomery, grandfather of  Bernard Law Montgomery, a British field marshal and one of the outstanding Allied commanders in World War II.
