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.

Johnny, would you know if there are many Swedish People in 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.

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.
They do great food in there.
