Carousel

Spent the morning preparing for a long weekend away - packing a few bits, etc.  Then in the late afternoon a trip into Waterford to collect contact lenses, from where I then drove straight to Wexford for a band rehearsal. 

Waterford is really gearing up for C.....  This carousel was just part of the funfair.  There are kiddies rides, an "Eye" and a skating rink.  There is clearly going to be a big market, but most of the stalls are not yet open.  Wexford, on the other hand, seems to be largely focused on the upcoming general election - there is at least one poster board on every lamppost, and some have as many as four!
