* The Island on the horizon is Steep Holm Island, so important is it to the view at Weston-super-Mare, that a while back a 'spare' was commissioned in case anything should happen to it. The spare is kept on the back of a trailer - for a more detailed explanation please follow this link..
This is a panorama taken with a Samsung mobile phone. Sharpness is not great but this is done with a view to a future concept. It is a bit lopsided to include the pulpit - seen on the right hand side.

Title quote: Mrs Doyle from Father Ted
Still busy... My apologies for the sporadic visits to your streams. I will catch up soon. Thanks for looking... :-)
The former Dock Offices.
Ah, it's a sign of the times when the Tiger has turned his tail and seeks fodder further to the east, where labour is plenty and cheap and they're haven't learnt our complacency, our arrogance, greed and thirst for beer.
I had a pint or two in this hostelry when it's name was the slightly more embracing Dock Offices or The Harbourmaster Restaurant & Bar, whichever you prefer. Those times are gone. (And so is The Jetfoil).
Welcome now to the Feck Off, favoured watering hole to the jaded banker, dealer and hedge fund weaver, deep in the heart of the IFSC where the Red Luas goes, and The Big Bow Wow is just round the corner. A name in keeping with the times, The Noughties, The Turn, The Soft Landing, The Crash.
Welcome to the Feck Off.

Local Jarvey rides summer long on Inisheer,one of the Aran Islands off west coast of Ireland. Background has old shipwreck named 'THE PLASSEY'.She ran aground during a severe storm. The Plassey was carrying cargo of whiskey, stained glass, and yarn when she was caught in a severe storm and struck Finnis Rock on Inis Oirr (Inisheer) March 8th, 1960. Thanks to the islanders’ courage and bravery, the entire crew was brought to shore safely using Breeches Buoy to hoist them in, one man at a time. Two weeks later a second storm tossed the ship onto the rocky beach.

I have been waiting to do this shot for so long. We are not a county where there are many cows so when we saw these earlier in the week we were delighted and had to come back today with a small cow to do the shot. For those of you who know the TV show Father Ted, you'll get it straight away. For anyone who doesn't, this clip is so worth it: Father Ted on holiday

The Parochial House from the fantastic TV series Father Ted.
For anybody that's interested, this house is near at Glenquin, near Kilnaboy, Co. Clare. Not far from Lough Bunny (no joke).
You can have tea and scones there now after your walk across Mullaghmore. But you need to let them know in advance.
(The friendly dogs belong to the owners of the house)

Apologies to all viewers who are going to find this equally uncomfortable!.
Inspired by the Father Ted episode, Entertaining Father Stone, and a nod to Prozac74's Mirror series.

MV Plassy, or Plassey, was a steam trawler launched in late 1940 and named HMT Juliet in 1941. She was renamed Peterjon and converted to a cargo vessel in 1947. She was acquired by the Limerick Steamship Company in 1951 and renamed Plassy.
On 8 March 1960, while sailing through Galway Bay carrying a cargo of whiskey, stained glass, and yarn, she was caught in a severe storm and ran onto Finnis Rock, Inisheer, Aran Islands.
A group of local Islanders, the Inisheer Rocket Crew, rescued the entire crew from the stricken vessel using a breeches buoy- an event captured in a pictorial display at the National Maritime Museum in Dún Laoghaire.
Several weeks later a second storm washed the ship off the rock and drove her ashore on the island.
In early January 2014, Storm Christine shifted the wreck's position on the coast for the first time since 1991.
The wreck still lies on the shoreline and is a tourist attraction. She is visible in the opening credits of the television series "Father Ted".
The Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare, Ireland.
Instead of using an obvious title for this image, I chose one from an episode of Father Ted in which the Cliffs of Moher make an appearance :-)

Father Ted, the idea of forced perspective causes confusion. Father Ted attempts to explain to Father Dougal that the small plastic cows he is holding look larger than the real cows Dougal can see in the field because the real cows are 'far away'. Father Ted is unsuccessful as Father Dougal is unable to understand the concept of perspective.
Rosie is even more confused by it being a plastic horse.

This is the boat that's seen in the opening titles of the TV program Father Ted. It sits on the island of Inisheer (or Inis Oirr) of the west coast of Ireland. This is a pseudo HDR image, the original photo was split into 5 and then reassembled in Photomatix.
Erected with the generous assistance of RTÉ and Dublin City Council
Joker’s Chair was erected in the memory of the writer, actor, satirist and comic Dermot Morgan (1952-1998), who achieved international renown for his role as Father Ted Crill y in the much loved and successful sitcom Father Ted. The inscription which accompanies this piece reads; ....and all the rest is laughter laughter liberating laughter to be remembered.
The artist Catherine Greene was born in Galway and studied at the National College of Art and Design from 1979-85. Her sculpture has a comical spirituality that seems to prevail throughout her work. This nod to humour and the less obvious is particularly appropriate in this piece as it appears to fittingly capture Dermot Morgan’s comical spirit. Greene was approached by Dermot Morgan’s partner to create the memorial which was funded by RTÉ and supported by Dublin City Council. A condition of the commission was that it should be an allegorical piece rather than a representative image. Greene saw Dermot as being like the modern day seer who never feared to tell the truth, cleverly, sear- ingly and with verve. This led her to the idea of the Shakespearean fool, who was always the closest to to the throne and who never feared to tell the truth. She felt it would be important for the public to engage with the artwork so she created a throne and if one looks just underneath the seat, you will see an eye, which for Greene represents the knowing eye. The balls on the top of the seat for her are like the hat of the jester. All these elements create a sense of fun and comedy about the piece. Joker’s Chair fits well within Greene’s work in that during the years preceding this commission she had been making small thrones as she was caught up with the idea of absence within her work.
The very first album and album cover I ever loved.
I thought it an idea to put my own take on this famous cover. Using people, characters that I have enjoyed, been inspired by throughout my life so far. I have enjoyed attempting to put this together, not perfect but fun doing it :)
Ps there are so many more I would love to have added but there wasn't enough space!!!!!!
First aired in 1995, its great to see Mrs Doyle still as popular & recognisible in 2018, as depicted on a mural in Dublin's Temple Bar.
So with plenty of one liners to pedal from the episodes, at least she'll have Pat Mustard's big tool should the bike give any trouble ( shoddy shoddy shoddy ).

"Father Ted"
Father Ted was a popular 1990s television situation comedy set around the lives of three priests on the fictional extremely remote Craggy Island off the west coast of Ireland. It ran for a total of three series between 21 April 1993 on the UK's Channel 4, and the final episode of series three was broadcast on 1 May 1998. Father Ted was written by Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan, who also co-created Big Train. All the interior scenes were shot at the LWT studios in London, while all of the location footage was shot in Ireland.
