I knew there were still 'historical issues' between the UK and Ireland - but it is a shock to realise just how close to the surface they are - as the Queen's visit gets closer some of 'English' are having trouble knowing just how to handle some of the statements and attitudes. Dignified and quiet embarrassment perhaps - I know the English have a lot to answer for but continual references to and reworking of old injustices is not very grown up.
Folks tell me that they worry about violence - or rather the amazing levels the Garda will go to head off any unpleasantness - which would make traveling into Dublin not worth the hassle. And of course, next comes O'bama...

recipe suggests that Chester cake is "
