Fiacre Banks @LooeyVille I suppose I’m fortunate being no more than 4 hours direct flying from Dublin to most of Europe.

We took the train to Florence itself, it was a time I remember oh so well. There was even a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Joan Baez but I didn’t comment because she looked, according to her age, as if she would just ask...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I really hope you’re fit to travel. To where in Europe do you fly? Temperatures ought to be quite benign by October. We head home in the morning. My flying points will take me to Turin, Rome, Paris, Brussels or Vienna for free in December. My...

I’ve had a thought today and disturbed myself somewhat. Did you ever realise that you have always been in your own company? Others come and go but there’s no getting away from yourself. Now that’s something and a half. And we are...

Fiacre Banks @LooeyVille Wow, I could never preach there. I like to see the whites of my listeners’ eyes. On the other hand, being a little distant from the gathered crowd diminishes the need to worry about passing a loud gush of wind. Of course some farts can be heard...

The photo shows my latest purchase. It’s a tote bag. I’m a sucker for anything ‘horsey’ but don’t often succumb nowadays. However, I couldn’t resist this. It's actually my Mother's Day gift after I gave Vince a great big hint. It...

The reason for our little trip to Pisa is two fold. Firstly today is our 42nd wedding anniversary, secondly Thursday is my wife’s birthday. So today we celebrated the anniversary, drinking negronis in most of the cafes along the...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv A woman should certainly be safe no matter what she wears, but that day has not yet arrived and until it does she had better be realistic and careful.

This is one of my most favourite meals. Simply boil up some mince beef ( ground beef ) with sliced onions and let it simmer. Add gravy granules for flavour and to thicken. I'm serving it with roast potatoes as I'm doing them in...
