I was in Navan today photographing a cute new baby and on the way home I decided to make a little detour in to see the Hill of Tara, a place I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been to. Unfortunately it was shut (how or why you’d shut a hill is something I’m not too sure about) but I saw these two hanging around nearby and decided to take out my camera anyway. They obliged and gave me this cute shot.
Yesterday Mary Harney announced the decision to halt the provision of the HPV vaccination to girls aged 12 years, a reversal of a decision made last August. This vaccine has the potential to prevent cervical cancer. I believe this is a mistake and this morning a listener on the Ray D’Arcy show suggested a way to let Mary Harney know what we thought: what if we all sent emails to the Minister with photos of their daughters expressing our dismay over this decision to deny these girls a vaccine which may prevent them getting cervical cancer in later years?
The Ray D’Arcy show has a link where you can send an email directly and it will only take a second. You can do it here: Today FM. Or if you’d like to send a photo of your daughter, the address is minister’s_office@health.irlgov.ie

The view of the Irish Sea from St Helen’s Golf Club in Rosslare. Golf clubs always have the best views.
Have a great weekend folks, I’ll be in Temple Bar Music Centre on Sunday taking photos of my brother’s band. I’ll be hopping around all you band photobloggers who do this so well: Donal, Phil, Neil …any tips?
The night before the wedding there was a barbeque at St. Helen’s golf course with fantastic views and the most gorgeous red sunset. Well, I’ll never believe the whole “Red sky at night, Shepherd’s delight” saying because the weather the next day was far from delightful!
A slightly different angle on the Blue Church as everyone piled out for a smoke after the service was finished. I love the little groups of people, especially the old man at the back and the little girl at the front.
Thanks for the lovely welcome back comments yesterday everyone! I should go away and come back more often
