Fair Day by happypat

Fair Day

We visited Kenmare in Southern Ireland today.
It was fair day, the one day in the year when animals such as cows, horses, chickens etc are sold in the street.
Such a great atmosphere, the town was packed & I took so many photos there wasn't enough room on my iPad to download them all.
I had a great chat to a few farmers about the Kerry cow & all farming matters....all looked quite old fashioned in this day & age of modern farming.
An Irish Whiskey in the pub before we retuned to our hotel.
A concert in the hotel tonight.
Love love love. Timeless, fav :)

@jewelsandbinoculars thank you very much for the fave......your marathon commenting is much appreciated...I know how busy you are! As for the typing I am retired sort of , only short bursts of busyness so can spend time typing slowly........I have just a little group of about fifteen I regularly comment on & the others just periodically. Have been lucky enough to have three visit this summer, always an excitement & slightly nerve wracking! All been as I imagined!
