My son sent me that link from an Irish TV that centered around the area of Donegal where I used to live and where he still has the house.

Fr. Mc Dyer was the priest who baptised my son in 1977 and he was quite a forceful character who did his best to halt the people leaving what was a beautiful but very poor area. So it is nice to see that the legacy of his work is still to be seen today.

If you had a chance to see the video before it is deleted and seen the pictures, you’d see that my mountain looks good. Sometimes I think it a pity that more people are discovering it as it seems to make it a bit less wild...and I love WILD!

Netherlands though also a beautiful country is flat that I do miss my mountains.

I love the people here in Haarlem but an Irishman gets homesick too!

Anyway here are 2 links you could visit to see lovely pictures of my Ireland, enjoy it as I did.
