Tá an Geimhreadh taghta i ndáiríre inniu. Today Winter has really arrived.
As they say here, ”tá sé ina dheatach”, which translates, ”it (the wind) is blowing smoke”.
And the waves are coming over the storm wall at the old pier, ”tá farraigí ag goil thar féar glas” or ”the seas are rolling over the green grass”.

Barneys NYC

Fuair muid neamhspleáchas ón mBreatain sa mbliain 1922. Ach breathnaíonn sé nár sroich an scéal seo chuile dhuine i Meiriocá fós. Féacha fuinneog BARNEYS NEW YORK d’Fhómhar 2010!

Ireland (this part of it), won independence from Britain in 1922. However it looks like the news did not reach everybody in the U.S. yet. See BARNEYS NY September window showing the INIS MEÁIN A/W 2010 collection in a window festooned with Union Jacks!
