Your memory is as crisp as morning frost and brought back things to me that I had forgotten. The fish that came in and out with the tide were usually mullet and I shot one of the poor fuckers in the shallows one day and Lucky retrieved it. I thought I had bagged myself a salmon.<BR/><BR/>The Mountain is one of the very few things that I miss about Ireland. I always said to it before i went up, " Be good to me now, for I come with respect and love." The mist could come in off the sea so fast and it was dangerous to wander around blindly on top because of all the cliffs. Many a tourist, mostly german, went up on a fine day and to return to Tellin Pier via Paddy Ringo Cunningham's boat, having been picked off the rocks at the bottom. <BR/>I am sure Frances enjoyed reading it too as she really loved you guys.
