PALMERSTOWN FC ON MILL LANE ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER LIFFEY

AND THE MYSTERY OF THE PARK PHOTO COLLECTIONS: PALMERSTOWN VILLAGE AND NEARBY My exploration of Mill Lane led me past Palmerstown FC. Initially, locked gates suggested the facility was exclusively for club use. However, further along, I discovered an open entrance within a stone wall. Venturing inside, I encountered a space that could have been either a football practice area or a public park.…

#marcusmumford #Brighton : #Chalk. The last leg 3.12.22

Well. What a few weeks it has been. Can’t really believe it’s all over. As per the end of any tour. Let the memories find their space and the joy live on.

Brighton by train on a Saturday. Not beyond the wit of man is it, but nearly beyond the wit of south western railways and then southern railways.

Can’t believe they cancelled the extra 5 carriages and at Bournemouth and made all those who got on for LONDON now ride cattle class standing up in the aisles riding shotgun behind the person in front. It was pretty poor. A change at Southampton saw chaos as another 100 travellers wanted to get on. But were turned away. Can’t believe my joy that after all these years I spotted entering Totton, on the side of a large building Peter Mumford and Sons flour mills 1885. Google it!!

Second leg, started well, but 8 stops were cancelled due to the training being late!!! I mean ok for me again but goodness me that’s poor isn’t it.

Brighton be still my beating heart. It’s been too long. The North Lanes. The graffiti / murals on the buildings, the winding lanes, the independent shops, the vintage shops. I was in seventh heaven. Kid in a candy store!!

Although only 4 degrees a walk on the pier, and the sound of pebbles under your feet is a must.

Lunch in the vegan cafe. So good. Pea and kale burger 💯 winner.

Chalk. The understated lost venue. Squint and you’ll find it in Brighton.

Only a short time queuing due to the extreme temperature outside. But always meaningful.

Passer by group number

1. Is this a strip club? Who you waiting for?

Passer by number 2. Who you waiting for ….. is he the comedian?

Met an amazing lady, visiting Brighton in memory and in spirit of her late daughter. I’ll say no more, but we’re thinking of you. And she would have loved every second of the show. Her spirit lives on. Xx #forever

Show time TBC on the tickets. 8pm ish on the email. 8.35pm in real time. Packed crowd. At the front was the photographer that has always been around Sussex, shaved head and impressive hipster beard. Many times I’ve seen him. Always remember seeing him at the Lewes stopover covered in chalk dust head to toe post colour chalk battle. I found the photo!! Look out for his pictures.

General summary. Soaking it all in as this is the last one. 🥹. MM Outfit change. Long black trousers and black boots. Gone are the white socks and pumps. Well it is 2 degrees outside. Wise choice.

We got 50 mins of Musial joy. Mixed in with good banter.

:Still operating as an elite squad since the band left them in Dublin.

:What day of the week is it. We were very quiet for a Saturday night in Brighton was it because the poppers hadn’t kicked in yet.

:Tour strap lines, “do you want a line”. As in Liverpool at the tour bus a Liverpudlian came up and asked them!!! Later during the show, you know who you are, a Liverpudlian shouted “do you want a line” sing I’m in fire… you don’t ask you don’t yet. To much hilarity for Marcus who said it made his evening!!

:Some crowd feedback that they couldn’t hear him. “Well you should have come earlier”.

:MFT: roadie talk for my first tour. Rookie error . The way the guitar was tuned for The Cave, (tuned by MM) was way too high, but once you’re in you’re in right??? :You still nailed it.

:C*nt chat

:Reincarnation…. ❤️

:I will wait , Mixing it up by asking if he could stand on the bar so that the back could hear him off mic. Only to find that the ceiling wasn’t that high so opting for sitting on the bar. Always a winner.

:Marcus catching a flight to New York today.

:Signing off with see you soon. We hope so.

:lady at end asking for the mug that MM had been drinking from…. Confirmation that it was Green Tea.

A joyful evening of course over too soon. Leaving the crowd wanting more. Back out into the chilly winter winds. Anyone for a five guys? 👋. Post Tour diet starts today.

[abroadabroaduk]

Of maps and memories.

We crossed the River Liffey and came up a hill, stopping at a traffic light. “Did I ever tell you my grandfather had a warehouse over here,” he said, not so much a question. I saw a church. No warehouse. “It used to be right in front of the church and” — we started moving again — “it stretched from here to” — several seconds — “about here.” I turned around to look back, trying to imagine what it might have looked like, but it was already out of sight.

+

Dublin was never mine.

I do have, of course, memories that are mine and mine alone: delighting in the bilingual signs (first Irish, then English) and through that divining a couple of words of Irish on my first ever moments in the city from the top deck of the bus; a long run out to the squat red lighthouse at the end of a slick-stoned breakwater jutting far out into the sea on a windy November morning; marvelling at the Marsh Library on a cold January afternoon, looking for bullet holes in the stacks; running the eleven miles out to Howth cliff walk and taking the train back because I could.

Then there are shared memories. Sitting surrounded by Francis Bacon paintings at the Hugh Lane Gallery on the day he and I met, a spark when our limbs grazed. A half-pint of Guinness at O’Donoghue’s later on, a flush growing on my cheeks (not just from emptying my glass). Poring over the Sunday Times at the kitchen counter for Mrs. Mills’ entendres and seafront countryside property listings; the Turner watercolours at the National Gallery in January; picking up a scone (rhymes with “gone”) or two from the Saturday market at Temple Bar; stoking a fire in the squat iron fireplace in the bedroom to stave off the damp chill; afternoon tea smack between our birthdays in February, nearly setting fire to our fancy little cakes because we couldn’t stop laughing and make our wishes fast enough. The drives back to the airport when the banter tried a little too hard.

He lived in the city centre despite professing to loathe the city. When I came in, we’d zip out somewhere more tranquil for a few hours—Enniskerry, Dún Laoghaire, Skerries, Greystones. A walk along the cliffs; a vantage point from the Dublin hills on the way to the mountain pass; sheep skittering out onto the road in Wicklow; lunch al fresco by the sea.

Our starting point, though, was the centre of Dublin, so to get anywhere, through the city we went. I’d sit back and listen to the tour. He didn’t guide so much as perform.

+

Over there, decades ago, that was a gay solicitor’s house. Around that corner, an old woman with the exact same name as his grandmother. The Protestant hospital where, having had his appendix taken out, he rode his new bicycle around the halls on Christmas Day. One of the old family homes, where he would sit on the window ledge and jump down into the basement well. The dilapidated cinema awning where he took shelter during a rainstorm, mugged for his brown communion shoes by a gang of brutish kids. Idling at this intersection at the age of six, curled up on the back window ledge above the engine of a Volkswagen Beetle, looking down the street at the very building that would one day be his home.

The city came alive through the hidden histories behind the buildings (over there, a hidden Huguenot cemetery; that squat brick building in the middle of the road, used as a stand-in for Checkpoint Charlie in a ‘60s film; that, once a debtor’s prison, then a boys’ school, now being renovated probably into luxury flats). Alive through the ghosts from decades past inhabiting the buildings that have changed but remain timeless. Alive in an altogether different way through the details that were highlighted—and what was left out. The imperfect filters of memory and nostalgia. 

Embellishments. 

Fiction, even.

This patchwork of intimate things both was and wasn’t mine to know. My not knowing which was which underscored that I was a mere visitor. My memories of Dublin were, overwhelmingly, second-hand: a retelling of the characters and scenes from a richly textured play that I’d never be able to see.

+

That stage of my life came to a close long enough ego that I look back on it with fondness, with a belief—a genuine and solid belief—that all turned out the way it should be.

Several months ago, my boyfriend and I boarded a Dublin-bound plane at London City Airport. A familiar ritual, but different. My cheeks flushed as I realised that, now, the person I love was sitting in the seat next to mine, holding my hand, instead of waiting for me at arrivals. But old habits die hard, and when I ordered my traditional gin and tonic, habitual anticipation flooded me. I couldn’t look away as we cleared the clouds, revealing that wonky patchwork of green fields.

My boyfriend knew I’d spent a bit of time in Dublin (though not why, exactly), so he relied on me to find our way around. Memory provided the guideposts, moments in time etched into them. We crossed over the Liffey to the north side, walking through the neighbourhood I knew so well, a mere street away. He looked up cafes in Google Maps on his phone. (I suggested ones on the far reaches of the screen perhaps a little too quickly.) The birds-eye view of the tangle of streets was a poor facsimile of the layers of Dublin I had come to know. It didn’t correspond. For Dublin isn’t objective. It is perhaps the only place in the world that I must navigate by feel and memory. Maps and grids couldn’t possibly begin to explain it.

We walked around St. Stephen’s Green, inextricably associated in my mind with a walk with my former partner on a heavy January day, woven together with his tale of his having fallen in the pond as a kid when playing with a toy, a tanker boat, nearly drowning to death. Back in the present, I took us on a small detour to find the bust of Countess Markievicz—a gutsy firebrand revered for her role in the Irish fight for independence—which I regarded as important because it had been pointed out to me before, my spirit compared favourably to hers. 

(I did not impart the same importance to my boyfriend, safe to say.)

I fretted the entire time I was in Ireland that we’d run into him. Into a part of my past that I hadn’t yet talked about at all. That, in front of the person I fully intend to marry one day, emotion would slosh over the sides of the buckets neatly separating different eras of my life, threads of the past tangling with the present. I suppose even a genuine and solid belief that all turned out how it should have done doesn’t preclude something reaching in deep and snagging a heartstring or two.

+

This never was my town. Oh, I loved it, all right. Had fallen for a person and a city at the same time, which made them one and the same—and so the loss was twofold when it all unravelled. I had tricked myself into envisioning that this would be mine. But Dublin never was, and it never will be.

I’m glad for that. I’ve since left that vision behind, though the memory of it lingered when I was there. I trust that, in time, when I turn around and look back, trying to imagine what once was and what could have been, it’ll all have vanished out of sight—become an abstraction, a memory belonging to someone else. Onwards.

The Transit System Review - One Year Later

Today was one year ago today that the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) changed forever.

Gone were the days of all of the buses meeting up at Broad and High.  Gone were the days of buses lining up every 30 or 60 minutes at Broad and High on Sundays.  Gone were the days of buses running every hour on the weekends and evenings.  It was time for a new normal.

The Transit System Review, as controversial as it was, was revolutionary for COTA.  The four-year plan helped expand service out of Downtown, to the suburban job centers in Hilliard, Easton, and Rickenbacker.  Expanded regular service outside of I-270 in Hilliard, Dublin, Gahanna, and Polaris.

In 1998, before Easton Town Center opened.  Only ONE bus went out there.  Throughout the 2000s, only TWO buses went out there, and only one of those on the weekends, and that was every hour, and it ended around 10:00 at night on weeknights, and 6:00 on the weekends.

Following the 2006 COTA levy, service grew.  In 2010, bus service expanded to later on the weekends.  In 2016, the renewal levy passed by a near 3-1 landslide margin.  The city became dependent on COTA as more jobs moved out of the center of the city, because people needed to get to their job in Obetz from their Section 8 apartment in Linden, or the mom on welfare with three screaming babies in the Hilltop needed to get to her appointment in Hilliard.  COTA was growing.

But, with the growth came growing pains.  The consultants of the Transit System Review implemented new routes that took buses that had been on certain streets for years, if not decades, many of these routes were based off streetcar routes from the 1930s (Remember about keeping current?  City Planners failed to send a memo to COTA.).  Buses on Country Club Road, Oak Street, Michigan Avenue, and Jaeger Street became buses on McNaughten Road, Polaris Parkway, Sunbury Road, and Clime Road.

Suddenly, streets that had service for years, like Oak Street had a bus route since the streetcar days (hey, the Trolley Barn was at the end of the line at Oak and Kelton in Franklin Park), and Country Club Road had a bus route on it since 1963, those little side streets saw buses diverted to main roads.

There have been kinks downtown with the grid pattern.  The buses coming from Franklinton go around Downtown in a maze (especially Lines 6 and 9, which go in from the Franklinton Arts District and go around Downtown, to Columbus State), or Line 11, which goes around Downtown in a circle, and the Near East Side in a circle (oh wait, that NEVER changed.  The old # 11 did that as well.  Scratch that.), if you live in Olde Towne East, you can walk from Bryden Road to Long Street and still catch the # 11. (After it goes around Downtown, of course).  It’s not easy making connections from stop to stop, because you can transfer routes in multiple locations (except if you’re coming to or from Line # 10, which goes on Broad Street).

On the bright side, gone are the days that people couldn’t take a job in Mill Run, Rickenbacker, or New Albany, because they couldn’t get there.  You can catch a one-seat bus to Easton from Hilliard, Whitehall, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Franklinton, the King-Lincoln District, Upper Arlington, Clintonville, Linden, Grandview Heights, or The Ohio State University District.  There are FOUR buses that go to the Hollywood Casino.  THREE buses that go to Grandview Yard, and on the weekends.  And there is a bus rapid transit route, the CMAX, which has high priority traffic signals on Cleveland Avenue between Fort Hayes and State Route 161, with artistic bus shelters between Fort Hayes and Minerva Park.

THEN: # 1 Cleveland/Livingston: Buses went from Livingston Avenue and Country Club Road to the Northern Lights Shopping Center; later from Polaris Parkway and Africa Road or the Westerville Park and Ride to the Reynoldsburg Park and Ride # 11 Oak/Bryden: Buses went from Sawyer Tower to the Kroger at Holtzman and Main; Later from the VA Clinic/Carepoint East at Leonard and Taylor to Columbus Square Apartments (at Winslow Drive and Alum Creek Drive), and then later down the Refugee Road corridor to Gender Road Town Center # 80 Ohio Avenue & # 81 Hudson, later # 81 Hudson-Ohio: Old bus # 80 went from Alum Creek and Winslow Drive to Hudson & Joyce, every hour six days a week; and old bus # 81 went from University City Shopping Center to Parkwood and Hudson; the combined route # 81 went from University City Shopping Center to Alum Creek Drive (first to Winslow Drive, then to Alum Creek & Williams Rd., and then to Rickenbacker) # 84 OSU/Arlington/Grandview/Hilliard: Buses went on weekdays from Marble Cliff to Kingsdale Shopping Center via Grandview Heights and the Ohio State campus, then eventually Lennox, and then the route was split into THREE routes: # 80 OSU/Lennox (night/weekend service from High Street to Lennox Town Center; # 82 OSU/Grandview Yard (weekday only service from Ohio Union to Grandview Yard, deviating into Lennox); # 84 OSU/Arlington (weekday only service from Ohio Union to Kingsdale Shopping Center, via Lane Avenue and the West Campus; hourly service to Hilliard was added in 2013)

NOW: # 1 Kenny/Livingston: 15 minute service from Reynoldsburg Park and Ride to Riverside Methodist Hospital; Goes through Livingston Avenue corridor from German Village to Brice Road, goes up High Street from the Franklin County Court House to the Ohio State University, then up Olentangy River Road from Lane Avenue to North Broadway; 30 minute service up Kenny Road to Bethel and Sawmill Roads; Serves Downtown Columbus, German Village, the South Side (Livingston Park, Southern Orchards, Old Oaks, and Driving Park), Berwick/Bexley, the East Side (Berwyn East/Beechwood/Willis Park/Leawood Gardens/Walnut Hills), Reynoldsburg, Northwest Columbus, Upper Arlington, the University District, and the Short North. # 5 West Fifth/Refugee: 15 minute service from First Community Village in Upper Arlington to Whittier Street and Seymour Avenue in Driving Park; 30 minute service from Refugee and Gender Roads to Trabue and Wilson Roads; 60 minute service to Hollywood Casino via Wilson Road and 60 minute service to the Renner Road Park and Ride at Hilliard-Rome and Renner Roads.  Serves Downtown Columbus, the Short North Arts District, Grandview (Marble Cliff/Grandview Heights/Fifth by Northwest), Upper Arlington, West Columbus, German Village, the Brewery District, the South Side (Ganther’s Place, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Merion Village, Schumacher Place), and the East Side (Easthaven, Eastland, Blacklick Estates) # 11 Bryden/Maize: 60 minute service from Maryhaven at Alum Creek Drive and Frebis Avenue to Westview Turnaround at High & Fenway Road in Clintonville via Bryden Road, Long Street, Joyce Avenue, Hudson Street, McGuffey Road, Maize Road, and Morse Road. Serves the Near East Side TWICE (Bryden Road - Franklin Park and Olde Towne East; Long Street - King-Lincoln Bronzeville to Taylor Avenue), North Columbus, Linden, and Northland, as well as Downtown Columbus. # 22 OSU/Rickenbacker: 30 minute service from Grandview Yard (lays over across from L.A. Fitness on Bobcat Avenue and Goodale) to Rickenbacker (60 on the weekend; 30 minute weekend service from Grandview Yard to Frebis and Studer Avenues on the South Side); Goes through Grandview Yard, the Ohio State Campus, Ohio State Fairgrounds, Milo-Grogan, Olde Towne East, Old Oaks, and Alum Creek Drive to Rickenbacker.  Serves Grandview Yard, OSU Campus, Milo-Grogan, King-Lincoln Bronzeville, Olde Towne East, Old Oaks, the South Side, Obetz, and Rickenbacker. # 31 Hudson: 30 minute service from Grandview Yard to Easton; via First Avenue, Grandview Avenue, OSU Campus, Hudson Street, Mock Road, and Sunbury Road.  Serves Grandview Heights, OSU, Linden, and Northeast Columbus # 32 North Broadway: 30 minute service from Easton to Kingsdale Shopping Center; 60 minute service from Easton to Hilliard*; via Cemetery Road, Fishinger Road, Nottingham Road, North Broadway, Oakland Park Avenue, and Innis/McCutcheon Roads.  Serves Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Clintonville, North Linden, and Northeast Columbus. * Temporary layover in Hilliard is over by the Heritage Golf Club, due to construction on Scioto-Darby Road near Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park

Cheers to one year of the COTA Transit System Review!

This time last year I was staying in the Liberties neighborhood of Dublin. Right across the road was the Dublin Liberties Distillery being built. It was exciting to see the 400 year old building that used to be a mill and tannery back in the day, being renovated and retrofitted into a distillery. The stills had just been dropped in through the open roof and what looked like shiny fermenters had also been put in place. Nearly a year on, the distillery opened this past February and here are some of the latest pictures. While the DLD whiskey ages, they are selling 5 releases of sourced whiskies with some pretty interesting names - Oak Devil, a 5 year old blend of Malt and Grain Whisky - Copper Alley, a 10 year old blend of Malt and Grain Whisky - Murder Lane, a 13 year old Single Malt finished in Hungarian Tokaj wine casks - Keepers Coin, a 16 year old Single Malt finished in PX Sherry casks - King of Hell, a 27 year old Single malt finished in Bordeaux Premier Cru Looking forward to the first releases from the distillery in a few years from now! Thank you Avril for sharing! Hope to come by again for a tour and a few drams at the bar! @dublinlibertieswhiskey #irishwhiskey #whiskey #dublin #ireland #thewhiskyadvisor #worldwhiskytours #dublinliberties https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMeutkHvIa/?igshid=1p0k22tz6grha

The Mill on Magnolia Lane - Tilly Tennant

The Mill on Magnolia Lane A gorgeous feel good romantic comedy Tilly Tennant Genre: Contemporary Price: $0.99 Publish Date: April 4, 2019 Publisher: Bookouture Seller: StoryFire Ltd The sky is cornflower blue, the air is scented with the smell of fresh apple blossom and Lizzie Lovell can’t wait to start her new life in the mill on Magnolia Lane. But is she just about to fall in love with someone she shouldn’t?  When Lizzie loses her larger-than-life dad she doesn’t know how to move forward. Encouraged by a childhood dream she shared with her beloved father, she is determined to continue his legacy and moves to the old Mill on Magnolia lane, a place he had always longed to own. Restoring the old windmill is a much bigger job than Lizzie bargained for, especially when she is distracted by her new next door neighbour Jude, who has temptingly twinkly eyes and a body to die for. But when Jude’s ex- girlfriend Harriet arrives back on the scene, Lizzie begins to wonder if life wasn’t far simpler before she moved to the mill. Especially when it emerges that Harriet knows something about Jude’s past, something that could shatter her new start and her heart into smithereens … If your heart is warmed by Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Josie Silver’s  One Day in December , you’ll fall in love with this beautiful feel-good story about finding love when you least expect it.  What readers are saying about  The Mill on Magnolia Lane:   ‘Another  absolute gem  from Tilly Tennant, that was hard to put down. A  gorgeous comfort read , with characters to fall in love with from the start. The story centres around Lizzie who follows her fathers dream to renovate the old windmill and the trials and tribulations it brings. The characters in Lizzie’s family along with the hunky next door neighbour and his own family bring their own additional storylines which have us  falling in love with them all in their own unique way . Great summer read.’ Goodreads Reviewer , 5 stars ‘This is  another wonderful book from Ms. Tennant . I loved the storylines that wove together. I felt like I was friends with all the characters.  I highly recommend this  and any of her other books.’ It’s My Life , 5 stars ‘A heartwarming and emotional novel to be sure, but it was still lovely and had  a beautiful ending. It's a lovely story about love, relationships and about losing a loved one. Emotional,  sometimes I had tears in my eyes whilst reading this!  But at other points I had a smile on my face.’  The Cosiest Corner ‘ Fascinating and entertaining ,  the perfect feel good book for a cosy afternoon . I love the plot that  kept me hooked till the last page  and the cast of characters. The setting was lovely and it made me wish I was there.  Highly recommended! ’  Scrapping and Playing,  5 stars I am a big fan of Tilly Tennant  so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, and it didn't disappoint! This is  the ultimate feel good romance book … Throughout the book you are treated to the blossoming romance between Lizzie and Jude.  Perfect  read for the summer days!’  South Dublin Reads ‘What a great story , I got really involved in the rebuilding of the windmill and the family dynamics. The description of the countryside around the windmill was so realistic I could picture the hedgerows and smell the wild flowers… A definite holiday read.’ Netgalley reviewer,  5 stars ‘ A delightful escape , and if you're looking for a fun country romance, check out  The Mill on Magnolia Lane .’  Sasha Wichita ‘I love Tilly Tennant’s books and her writing... With the sails working on the mill, a new baby and hope for new loves and happiness to come –  the story came around to leave me with a smile.’  I Am Indeed http://bit.ly/2IbRDA1

The Spirit of Dublin Mill Lane, Dublin 8.

[devilspoint-rpg-blog]

James ‘Jamie’ Callaghan is 34 years old and works as a photographer. He has lived in Devil’s Point for 2 years, and is portrayed by Cillian Murphy.

Head Canons:

Drug Use TW; Death TW

Incongruous to the rest of the town’s rustic architecture, Jamie’s house is a modern monstrosity, with large windows overlooking an even larger garden. It sticks out like a sore thumb amidst the Church Lane cul-de-sacs. 

Though he reluctantly attempts to get along with his siblings, Jamie bears an unwavering hatred for his parents, whom have done nothing but spoil and disappoint him his entire life. 

His efforts to bridge the void dismantling his relationship with his brothers and sisters are futile, given the fact that, having been his grandfather’s favourite since the age of twelve, Jamie has inherited the largest sum of money (out of the six that were calculated) after Rhys Callaghan’s passing. 

From Dublin to London, Paris and New York, Jamie has spent his life living in big cities, and has now retired to the countryside for some peace and quiet. He doubts, however, that he’ll find any, given the fact that he seems cursed to perpetually leave a trail of bread crumbs for chaos to follow. 

Given his upper class privilege, Jamie has experimented with all kinds of drugs during his private school education; though he now claims to abhor them, cocaine will forever have a special place in his heart. It was the drug that helped his first male lover realise just how attracted he was to Jamie, and vice versa. 

His favourite book is Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, a fact that shall be taken to his grave.
