I bought this great t-shirt from StephieSays on Etsy and I love it. It’s nice and long. Yes, I periodically visit Etsy and search “Moscow”, “Russia”, “Ukraine” and “Maps” (I have a great European map t-shirt from Etsy) and, as you’d imagine, this is what the search for “Moscow” produced. You’ll have to excuse me, I’m terrible at taking photographs of clothing, but the illustration/print is the most important part. (Full pic from Stephie’s Etsy)

I thought I’d finished with all my travel entries, but it seems I’ve missed out Ireland. To be honest, I don’t have a great deal to say about Ireland because I haven’t really explored the country. My first visit was as a child to stay with my great-Grandfather in Dublin and my only memory is of Mass (stand up, sit down, stand up, kneel down, etc.) and the ferry crossing over (sprawled across the floor listening to the Irish Sea).

In the summer of 2008, I flew over with my mum for a Muse pop concert and we managed to squeeze in a wee walk around Dublin city centre. I saw a little more of Ireland last year when I spent a week in Donegal and then attended a birthday party in Co. Kildare a couple of months later (the Burke I live with is Irish, you see).

Here are some photographs taken in Dublin, Kildare and Donegal (more on Flickr)

Here’s one of me with the Irish Burke to finish this off.
