Quite a group of people standing outside the Post Office in Portstewart in County Derry while the numbers diminish as they eye moves along the street. Mr. French had the capacity to attract people to his work and children in particular, but on occasions, no doubt due to a lack of juicy bones, he has been ignored by the dogs of the towns he visited!

I have no doubt that we are looking at well heeled holiday goers in Tramore and that it is just by chance that they were there at the same time as Mr French. What a lovely scene it makes, and I have not even mentioned the haunted well! Well, what can you tell us about the well?

Hoping to finish this week on a high. Is it possible to find out what was going on here? And when and where it was going on? Why were those two boys making a quick getaway? And was that dog a very good girl/boy?

Old and new horsepower nonchalantly passing each other on a summer's(?) day in Bangor, Co. Down.
With regards to one of the many businesses on Main Street, this Mary is puzzled by the Spectator office on the left. The window advertises PHOTOGRAPHER or LITHOGRAPHER AND ...AMPER. What's that last bit?
