March 2024 we had the privilege of visiting Waterford. There is a pub right behind Reginalds tower called The Reg. A super friendly bar man and great fish n chips. The murals were amazing.
Now that's a beautiful City! The Viking Long Ship replica was a work of art! How striking it is with all the presentations you bring of Irish urban life, the neatness and pride stands out. The mural projects of Ireland are incredible! My Darling Wife's uncle, her Mum's twin brother, is featured in a large wall mural in Dundalk! Paul Kavanagh, the renowned Irish photographer. How History is played out always amazes me! It was French King's, ruling England, who's Viking ancestors were the Norman's of Irish fame!! For a great read that's outstanding in its field, the book " Children of Ash and Elm". A History of the Vikings. Cheers Greg!! I absolutely love Irish Georgian architecture!!!
Many thanks Des, I'm sorry I just responded to your live comment as the 'live view' ended, so perhaps you didn't see it. But it was good to have you there for the premiere anyway. Yes, it's a beautiful city, and an easy one to make look good on film. Thanks as always for watching. I'll check out that book.
Sounds great, though I don’t use them. Maybe it’s something I’ll get into in the future. Any available moments I have for listening tends to favour music.
Yes, your wife's uncle's mother's twin brother Paul the photographer featured in the mural in Dundalk. I know him well . . . 😂 lol sorry couldn't resist.
I imagine Waterford is much better now its bypassed. Last time I was there it hadn’t been built. My vivid memory of Waterford was a street performer who was quite scary, not just to me either, he was freaking kids out who he saw 🤨. To be honest I didn’t care for Waterford, maybe its too big for me, Wexford more my size. Perhaps today I would like it more. I still have a film I shot of the place somewhere driving through it back in the traffic days, too rough for TH-cam (maybe). Did you go on a Sunday? We did, parking was nice and easy too, a car park on the quay. Seeing Dunnes Store I do miss them, I was definitely a Dunnes Store shopper 100% when I lived in Ireland 😁. I remember Reginald’s tower, though didn’t know its name until you told me. Good video as always Greg. I’m still waiting for your one on Kenmare.
Ah yes, Kenmare will come, I promise. Yes, I expect Waterford it massively different these days. My walk was a Thurs morning, the place was pretty empty, but then it was raining.
@nakedireland counting the days till Kenmare so no pressure 😂. It was closed when we there, only thing open was a burger bar, so had one 😂. Started to open by late morning as I recall. When isn't it raining in Ireland 😂 😂 😂

Thats true, one think we can count on is the rain. In that sense our weather is reliable!!
