Clare Island, the home of Grace O'Malley (Gráinne Mhaol [Bald Gráinne], Gráinne Ní Mháille, Grunaille or many other names she is known by). Her story is one that I would not be surprised would make an excellent HBO series. Yara Greyjoy has nothing on her lol.
Thank you for the very kind words Mr JC. They did well to steel my sense of self-contentment until I errantly went out shopping after work... looking for something else.
While on the high street, I may have made the mistake of visiting the jewellers, finding a nicely aligned example of what I wanted, and negotiating a price I was willing to pay.
