If you wish to witness a true spiritual experience get your self to Dundrum Shopping Centre in Dublin on any Saturday afternoon , no piss balling around in wind and rain on a rock in the Atlantic. Get with the programme Tommy.❤

If you draw a line on a map linking several sites dedicated to St. Michael, it runs from Skellig Michael on Ireland’s Atlantic coast across Europe to Mount Carmel in Israel. This alignment is often referred to as the St. Michael Line or the Sword of St. Michael.

The type of place I'd feel like spending a month there with enough food water and some books, pure bliss and isolation. Not for everyone I understand that but Definitely attractive to me

Was here last july. Still enjoying the memories. The most spectacular and at the same time serene place I ever visited. 💚

Of all the places I have been around the world, Skellig was the most spiritual and beautiful places I have ever been.

I was blessed to be there on a clear and sunny day ❤

Oh my goodness, it's Tommy!! How can you not love this man. Dane here. Saw him here in Copenhagen many years ago on my birthday. I was a bit obese at that time. He saw me sitting in the 2nd row with a pint. He ripped me a new one, but I took it. It was good fun. How many times do you get to made fun off by an Irish hero? 😍
