An alternative green theme

Éire
It is the third-largest island in Europe
and the twentieth-largest island on earth
well-known as called the Green Island or the Emerald Isle.

The weekly photo theme some weeks ago was “Green”
well the very first thought may be this magnificent island.

wonderful irish nature
wonderful irish stout (beer)
wonderful irish songs
wonderful irish hospitality

all the great things which can be said about Ireland
so you would think they were a conceited people
but no, not at all – more contrary
irish people are generally very humble and a bit melancholic
historically, it is also a nation
who have tried how hard life can be.

Irish people about being irish:

“A real irishman kan worried by the consciousness
att there is nothing to worry about ” (Austin O’Malley)

“Ireland is where strange tales begin and happy endings are possible”
(Charles Haughey)

“I had a very happy childhood,
which is unsuitable if you’re going to be an irish writer”
(Maeve Binchy)

“May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night
and the road downhill all the way to your door”
(an irish blessing)
