Pausing only to strap on his kevlar jacket, M.C. set out for the badlands of north Dublin to record this one on Portmarnock Bridge.
Below: The 'mark on Portmarnock Bridge. Someone has outlined it in white paint. Wonder was it J.W.? The large hole inflicted on the poor cratur resulted from it not having the foresight to wear a kevlar jacket! Take care out there.
Above: Portmarnock Bridge with the 'mark just below the lamp standard. In the apartment block in the background is the pied-a-terre of a former colleague. A few years back, like one of the legendary Wild Geese, J.W. upped sticks and resettled in France where he is now living the dream. But, unlike those Wild Geese of yore, he is more of a wandering swallow because he frequently revisits these shores, and his chic plumage and familiar call can be encountered at Lansdowne Road and Croke Park.
