Unfortunately Bugs Google Earth has not mapped Galway as well as Dublin in terms of satellite photos. But I did however find you (I think) and I guessed whereabouts I am and I mocked up this: Has your house got a white bus/van outside it in the satellite imagery?
Another very interesting site to visit especially for all you organic gardeners http://www.exploratorium.edu/gardening/index.html Watch the videos especially here http://www.exploratorium.edu/gardening/ ... index.html
Im impressed Frank re Google , Did you read the irish pub stuff , just came home , great craic, got the Ardrahan cheese ,but we (the lads) had some in the pub, we got some fresh baked baguettes, then the Ardrahan (very smelly ) Lots of Uncle Arthur !!!! We are now starting a gourmet club . Regards Bugs (hic hic) p .s. In my youth (a long time ago ) I walked home from Galway to Dublin . it seemed further than 183 k bugs
Walked home from Galway to Dublin! How long did that take you? That's walking across the width of Ireland! Cripes, I feel like a lightweight now!
We did it at our leisure (walk across Ireland) It was not the straight route. We stopped at places like Mullingar, It took 7 days of leisurely walking , there was not so much traffic then and we did make use of the odd Massey Ferguson 35 whenever a farmer passed by , I was eighteen then and influenced by the film Easy Rider except of course I could not afford a motorbike (apprentice gardeners did not get paid very well then ) Driving from Dublin to Galway even now I still get nostalgic passing some of the fields we slept in under the open skies. happy days 8) Bugs
