Cahersiveen - Iveragh Peninsula

I went to cahersiveen to see a house. this house was not fit to sit down in, let alone spend the night, as I thought I should have to.

Instead I went up the street and found this charming private hostel, run by a lovely warm-hearted woman, Mary, who made me a 

cup of tea as we sat chatting over the turf fire in the sitting room. I spent a peaceful night and went to Killarney next day. 

first though I had a walk around chsv and was struck by this hill with a notch in the top. It must have a name, I wonder what it is.

I particularly liked this notice which made me laugh as I arrived at the pier

One of these saints is new to me, on the left, saint Martin, I was told he looks after the animals - pity he couldn't save benji from what happened to him at the kennels

Inscription on right reads: Here, in Marian Place, the summer solstice was celebrated annually on June 23rd, st John's eve. we called it Bonfire Night, when sparks and smoke and music for the sets filled the air. On the following morning we lit our homefires with the embers, in the hope of luck for the 

figure of the virgin in cahersiveen, Marian Place

coming year. god bless the memories and the people who created them.

Sorry I dont know the name of this saint, also in cahersiveen
