Hi, thanks for remembering that a world is sometimes better upsidey downsie

My wife has done Irish dancing for many years and has many awards and trophies. I have become bored attending the competitions, due to the repetitive music, ridiculously ostentatious and very expensive dresses and HUGE curly-haired wigs. Notice these traditional dancers look nothing like that. It is more about dancing, getting the steps right, and keeping the hoof beats timed with the music. Damned good thing I am not a judge!

I wonder where the W.L. number on the plate came from. L_CAB_02749 is General View, Crosshaven, Co. Cork

L_ROY_02749 is Great Southern Hotel, Kenmare, Co. Kerry

L_IMP_2749 is Cathedral, Derry City, Co. Derry

And the beachcombers shots are in the L_CAB_8500s.

Nymphaea gigantea is a species of aquatic perennial herbaceous plant native to Australia and New Guinea.[2][3] N. gigantea is a tropical and sub-tropical species that establishes tubers in the muddy bottoms of still waters. Petals can be seen to be a light purple-blue when they first blossom. As they become mature plants they become a light blue, or can even be white.[4] Due to its blue-white color, it is also known as “Blue Cloud", and typically flowers between the months June and July.
