Pics are great. And thanks for the video – there are TREES!!! My husband cannot travel to Ireland as there are no trees there at all. Now he has to look for another creative excuse not to go.

Are the lyrics available to the TG Lurgan song as Gaeilge? The text version I mean.
Dia dhuit Eoin. Thanks for sharing your videos and pictures, I hope to visit Ireland someday soon, if I had it my way I would live there permanently. As of right now, Avicii Vs Lurgan – “Wake Me Up” as Gaeilge is up to 983,642 views!! Bye for now.
Ya take a midlin good photo. I read in a story once the words “west Londoner”.
I think it was used to describe what most called simply Protestants.
If this is true i like it. There were a few very Irish Protestants. Some achieved for the country legacies equal to that achieved by heroes we would describe differently, some paid as dearly for their loyalty.
As i,ve said before, many people in Ireland think just being born on Irish soil makes you Irish. This frame of mind allows them to say that being part of England {west London}is a valid opinion because they {an Irishman] have it.
My distinction for classification of Irish is more about what is in your heart.[what LAND are you loyal to] For instance in the photos above a west Londoner might have captioned them with comments of how well they compared to the real thing;England
I remember reading of an Irish mother who had filled out the nationality for her son ,[born in an English hospital], as Irish. The Irate British official told her that she MUST correct the entry to “English” because he was born in ENGLAND! “A queer thing that is” she argued. “You’ll be tellin me next that if a cat has kittens in a bakery, that i`d make dem cream buns!”
I like the term ~west Londoner~ better than ~Protestant~.

Interesting perspective, the different perspectives you’ve pointed to.
I love the post cards. Thanks. TG Lurgan is fabulous – one of the main reasons, along with Celtic Thunder, that gave me an interest in learning a bit of Irish.
Hi Ann. Great to hear how TG Lurgan helped you on.
