Great video Don! Was wondering when I saw the saw the Moris Minor with the dial that goes to 90mph if that's where the saying "Up to 90!" comes from? 😃
👋Hi there Don, Always good to see you getting out & about in beautiful Éire! These wee local country fairs, are so wonderful & so full of energy abound. I love seeing all of the adorable & furry animals & the non-furry ones too! The old & historic machinery abound are also great to see, so too, all the awesome classic cars. My sibling used to collect cars & even buy some & each time I'd visit he'd always have something new on show. It was akin to a mini car museum. lol I think he would have friends drop their cars off so he could work on them, others would leave cars with him to care for or to buy later & on occasion he'd buy something that he could afford @ heavily discounted prices. All these going's on were a bit weird, but equally interesting & fun! lol He's always been a bit of a motor head lol. He also owns a small blue Ford Capri, so that one really resonated with me. The stall sellers/vendors are very talented indeed & they sell some really beautiful bits & bobs. The French lady's items were really lovely & the cat bag was beautiful. One of my gf's is a huge cat fan & I think she'd so love that bag. I may buy one for her when we revisit. All the food looks great/yummy & in regards to the famous Irish Colcannon, that's long been a favourite of mine, as my dear late Maternal-Grandmother used to cook this for me every now & then & I always loved it. She was of Irish/Scotch/French ancestry & she used to make a few variations of this dish & she'd cook a French style one too, which was also amazing! That one was the same as Irish dish, but it differed in that she'd first fry/sauté off some finely chopped onion & freshly crushed garlic, with some fresh thyme & salt/pepper added for taste, then the rest was pretty much the same. She would also use oil &/or olive oil for the frying, then add the butter later. So I guess it was different, but in taste, it was exceptional. She was a brilliant cook & I so miss her cooking, but I do remember & cherish those sweet memories of her. In ref to the sweet Donkey's, my husband's Mother back In Éire (Co Roscommon) had some Donkey's, so my husband's always had a soft spot for these wee creatures. Those potatoes (my fav vegetable) being cooked in that cast iron pot, is just wow to see!! I just love to watch traditional cooking methods being displayed & I bet that would have tasted so good. Eating outdoors is always enjoyable & somehow the food just tastes better. Just like when we eat fresh fish'n'chips by the sea. So much better! Do check out the way Irish people used to cook underground via this method. the "Fulacht fiadh". They'd cook pork & other meats this way & it always came out tasting amazing & retained it's juiciness. These ancient cooking methods are similar globally, akin to the famous Māori Hāngī. The Hāngī, is a traditional Māori (in NZ) method of cooking food, using heated rocks buried in a pit oven, called an "umu". They use banana leaves, to wrap many of the foods, such as the many root vegetables, etc;. We just LOVE your videos & we always look forward to them, no matter how busy life can get. We do make time, always. Take care & here's wishing you well. Peace✌
