Grey clouds above, sunshine too.
Irish weather makes fun of you.
Umbrellas ripped away from your hand.
Then glorious warmth all across the land.
No one knows what it is that they should wear.
Raincoats and shorts, some people just don't care.
Irish fashion is very strange to behold.
It may seem to be warm and suddenly it's cold.
If you visit here, you had best prepare.
It's nothing like you have experienced over there.
But one thing is for sure, the fun will never end.
If you make an Irish person your life long friend.

The Danes, Norsemen, Vikings, came to Ireland
around 1000 A D. Their influence was very prominent
in the 12th century. We have had ever since then a long
association with the people of Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Danes, Norsemen, Vikings lived to fight back in those days. Were they Natural Allies of the Irish against Common Foes?

The vikings settled around the year 1100.
Lots of Viking blood in Ireland. Especially on the east coast where I am.
Christcurch Cathedral is regarded as a Viking church and just up
the road from it is The Brazen Head bar, reputed to be the oldest
pub in Dublin city. Established in the year 1198.
