The Twelfth used to be the biggest holiday in Ulster in days gone by - lots of businesses closed for the 'Twelfth fortnight'. Nowadays some might close for one day - life goes on pretty much as usual.

Having come to Christianity as an adult, a lot of church history stuff passed me by during my formative years.Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957150598868482631.post-42026733343876989352016-09-16T07:59:44.157+01:002016-09-16T07:59:44.157+01:00Nah, I didn't have very high hopes of that goi...Nah, I didn't have very high hopes of that going to happen anyway, so that's alright :)<br />You seem to find a lot of interesting stuff around in local auctions and such. There's nothing like that around these parts of the world, but I sometimes walk inside local shops dealing with some old bits and pieces nobody seems to want anymore. I very rarely find anything worth to take home, though. And maybe that's just fine, if you ask somebody else...

I think it set off some small earthquakes around The Liberties :) It is a beast of a thing, for sure. But...I can see the advantages of the old 6x7 neg and I want to go there for the darkroom work. But not with an RB67 - I couldn't even lift it. So sorry, but I don't think the swap with the FM3a is going to happen soon :)<br /><br />Hope the popcorn was good!Michael McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247145157454447816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957150598868482631.post-88479574119515630942016-09-12T11:59:25.615+01:002016-09-12T11:59:25.615+01:00Should you, my friend from The Liberties, find out...Should you, my friend from The Liberties, find out some day that a heavy beast of a Mamiya RZ67 would be nice to have instead of the FM3a, please don't hesitate to give me a call about the matters... But who on earth would do a swap like that?<br />Very nice, and very colorful obviously, set of snaps you got here mate! I really, really like them both.<br />I kind of payed attention when you were scribling about the dog leaping over that river and everything, but had to read it again of course. Just to make sure I had some of the history fresh in mind before the rest is due to materialize onto my screen quite soon. It's a great start with the Orangeman and all, so if you'll excuse me while I'm off to get some popcorn I'll be ready to recieve a full good old history lesson within a minute or ten :))Roy Karlsvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805712465787215923noreply@blogger.com
