Irish Ancestry

i don't eat animals anymore. after taking a year off meat, i don't think i'll go back.
[i'd never eaten donkey though, just the for the record]  

#bikeclub - what a time to be alive...




heaps happy on a boat.


when you look at a photo and think "i remember feeling happy that day."


so here we are.

Today i found out that i have some Irish parts. Frank's family were from County Down and Nanna's were from Tipperary. 

Frank is my real grandfather. 

I think the story goes that he thought he was too young to be called granddad and so we always called him Frank.

 #hisnamewasfrank. i miss him...

and i dangled my legs over the edge.




Many moments in ireland resonated with me. The colours, the music, the people, the sea and the land but i didn't know at the time. i didn't know about my ancestry... i still don't know a lot. 



i'm Australian but it's nice to know there's a bit of this in the background.  

= all the walls we built, they must come down =



this is where most people come to kiss the stone, i just came for the view. 



into you ireland x

We'd be alright if the wind was in our sails...

music while you look: something Irish

busy in the town.


its a Dublin street.



#community


here are the babes.




the road of life feels less alone when you love strangers along the way, and they become friends. 







take time to look.

Q: where is your favourite place?
A: the ocean.


letting my eyes see all the things.

smiles.

Russ. He had a birthday. 

We were so high that the birds flew under us. 

some big rocks etc...

i found a book of poetry on my walk home yesterday. here are some of my favourite words from it: 
"She turned away, but with the autumn weather Compelled my imagination many days, Many days and many hours: Her hair over my arms and her arms full of flowers."
its a T.S. Eliot moment.
