questions

a planned holiday or packed up and ready to head home?  Whatever the answer may be, I hope they are enjoying themselves.

moody outside

the sun is starting to go down, the clouds have moved in, it's misting and I'm on my way home.

Hey, Mr Uilleann Pipe Man

Montgomery Terrace overlooks Lough Foyle.  When walking on this street last night there were a few tour buses filled with people. This is one of the stops the buses make for the tourists.  I've seen photos of these houses where almost everyone was a different colour.  I think that would be more attractive but maybe the people who own these buildings didn't think so.

Here's a little background I found about Montgomery:  The Montgomery family association with Moville spans five generations from the early 1700s to the middle of the last century. The Field Marshall’s mother Maud, and father, Henry, are buried at the town’s Church of Ireland graveyard.    Montgomery Terrace was built in 1884 by Robert Montgomery, grandfather of  Bernard Law Montgomery, a British field marshal and one of the outstanding Allied commanders in World War II.
