One’s wife’s a bit fond of a spliff,
Or maybe some coke,
It’s okay to choke,

This weekend, anyone living close to the Dublin to Maynooth rail line may be woken by the brilliant sound of a steam train. The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland run ‘Santa Trains’ every year to raise funds. This year’s schedule starts on Nov 30, dates and times are on their website [below], It’s worth timing a stroll to see the train…

The humpbacks returned to Balitmore, Co. Cork yesterday.

In the pursuit of taking that last picture, Richard O’Flynn, of the Best Photos of Baltimore, lost his daughter’s bag.
He writes:
“After a super morning watching 7 or 8 fin whales and hundreds of dolphins feeding off the stags this morning I went and left my daughter’s Peppa Pig bag with a torch in it and my Helly Hansen jacket down at the parking area in Church Strand at 12.30 and someone had picked them up before I got back. Please share or my daughter will never speak to me again. They may have been handed in somewhere already.”
Anyone?
