The #alfaromeo75 was launched in 1985 to celebrate Alfa’s 75th year of production. I don't think many were sold in Ireland. For those that were sold here I believe rust got a fare few! So this car I videoed is a rare bird in Ireland

My festive looking frost covered cotoneaster from previous. Much of Ireland will have frozen temperatures down to -6 in places. So protect your plants by #mulching, wrapping in fleece / cloth or take inside a greenhouse / #coldframe / #cloche if you have them.

The fine looking #trawler Ambitious II at #HowthHarbour in north County Dublin AKA Fingal. It was stuck aground recently while trying to exit the dock two hours after low water. Lack of #dredging was the possible reason which is the case in many Irish ports causing concern in the fishing community.
VW beetle & a stylish VW Karmann Ghia. The latter produced between between 1955 to 1975 it offered sports-car styling to the masses.
