After work, I went for a drive to try to find something quintessentially Irish in keeping with my theme this week! I spotted this cottage at the side of a country road (but the countryroad was doubling as a short-cut for a swarm of commuters!) There was nowhere to stop so I had to park and walk back over a kilometre along a narrow twisty road with no verge and cars zooming past.. :o

The title of the photo heralds back to what we used to say, as a joke, about old derelict cottages like this before the "celtic tiger" boom.. "one more payment and it's mine". Since the celtic tiger that has become painfully true!! ;)

Ireland has change a lot from the time this house was build!! finbarr · 2012-03-15: 18:42

Tigers are over rated. What you really want is a turtle. Nice pic though. The honeymoon suite? Lsample · 2012-03-15: 19:18
