I couldn’t understand how mean the English were when I asked for a couple of biscuits etc. & if u ask for a glass of beer; it’s as if they were raised by wolves. & they don’t understand tea! I did my best to educate them but we may need to do a Cultural Revival for them again!
And with their fancy ‘One’ & their reading Academic Subjects. I had to explain to an Oxford Grad (of all things) that you read the Beano but study history! Jesus wept!
And they don’t know what a yoke is (item or pill). I blame Brexit 😉
And sure if they didn’t have a sense of humour & make great friends you’d give out about them til you were fit to be tied. They’re beyond the Pale 😜

Thread: William Leech (1881-1968) was an Irish painter. He was a Post Impressionist who painted light & colour. Unknown outside of Ireland his pictures are a delight for the eye. Image
Born in Dublin into a professional Unionist family he went to the Metropolitan School & then the RHA Art School where he had the good luck to study under Walter Osborne. He left for France in 1901. (Images by Osborne) ImageImage

Thread: Have just realised it’s the traditional season for journalists & ‘opinion writers’ to trot out their ‘science v religion’ rants. Science is not a religion; if u think it is you’re not a scientist. Scientists are generally not all atheists either. 👇 ImageImage
I once had a chat with a respected & heroic Scottish professor of science (won’t be too specific as I don’t want to share his identity) which turned into a real heart to heart. This man was a personal hero to me.
He was born into extreme poverty as a child in the Gorbals in Glasgow. His dad died when he was 14 & he got a job to support his mother. Later he put himself thru A-Levels & was awarded a scholarship to a famous University. That’s heroic.

Am seeing all kinds of nonsense regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. Ireland is receiving vaccine before year end. There will be enough for 2,500 people in the next week or so. After that supplies will ramp up.
The collapse of the U.K. land bridge, due to fears regarding the mutant Covid strain (& Brexit) there, will not be an issue. It’s likely that supplies will be airlifted. Ignore any BS oh this. The Air Force can fly in all we need in one aeroplane.
Vaccines will be administered based on priority of most vulnerable groups & associated health care workers. My consultant told me she expects the hospital/GP to contact anyone who is vulnerable. You can see the vaccine scheme in the attached here: irishtimes.com/news/health/co…

Thread: Today on the Winter Solstice, one of the oldest traditions on the planet is played out at Newgrange, Ireland. Newgrange is older than the Pyramids & Stonehenge & was built between 3500-3200BC. Let’s take a look at this World Heritage Site & Solar Clock #WinterSolstice Image
As the sun rises on the Solstice it passes through a lightbox at the entrance to the tomb & travels down the 60ft passageway to a central chamber marking the shortest day of the year. ImageImageImage
As a professional historian & science these ideas influence my art. Pattern, like & colour are central to my work. There’s a 2 for 1 until the 6th January. Delivery before Christmas is available for Irish orders, today only.
