Apart from my love of photography- I also pen the odd poem when the mood strikes.

So here is one dedicated to our little piece of paradise

The Heart of Derryvohey

Green fields wide, and skies so high,
Bogs that hold the lark’s first cry,
A pint, a laugh, no bills to pay—
Where the craic outlasts the light of day.

The walls stand hollow, weather-worn,A house long stripped, its heart outworn.No roof above, no door to frame,No windows...

The walls stand hollow, weather-worn,
A house long stripped, its heart outworn.
No roof above, no door to frame,
No windows left to hold a name.

Yet from the stone, a stubborn tree
Has bound its roots in masonry.
Its branches stretch where rafters lay,
A living crown to what’s decayed.

No roof to guard from wind or sky,No pews where once the meek would sigh.The windows gape — mere bones of light,Eyes tha...

No roof to guard from wind or sky,
No pews where once the meek would sigh.
The windows gape — mere bones of light,
Eyes that watched each passing night.

Yet in the earth, the silence stays,
Where crypts still dream of other days.
Stone cradles hold their steadfast keep,
While time walks softly in its sleep.

**WOW — what a day at the Balla Vintage & Classic Show!** 🔥🚗💨

The heart of Mayo was pumping with horsepower, history, and pure love for all things vintage! From the deep rumble of classic engines to the shine of chrome, every corner of the mart buzzed with excitement.
Families, enthusiasts, and curious wanderers — all came together to celebrate timeless beauty, roaring nostalgia, and the unbeatable spirit of the classics.
If you missed it, you missed magic. If you were there, you’ll know.. it was unforgettable.
