Jazzing things up a bit in Derry
The Wombat likes a bit of music, and enjoyed himself very much at the
Derry Jazz Festival - so much so that we don't have any
usable photos of his night out!
But here he is on the walls above Guildhall Square (perched by a cannon), listening to some of the live music from the stage below.

Bobbing around Cardiff Bay
The song is true as far as The Wombat is concerned - there's always a
welcome for him in the hillside and the vales. He was very happy to
pay another visit to Cardiff (read about his previousone) and decided to explore Cardiff Bay.
He thought about taking a boat trip, but he really isn't sure about the water. There were ducks in it. Ducks scare him.
The Wombat watches quite a bit of TV, and he recognised this landmark from watching Doctor Who and especially Torchwood (IMDB link).
Scenes from Doctor Who were filmed here too, but it's better known as the Senedd, the home of the National Assembly for Wales.
He'd fallen into a bin right before the last photo was taken (he does like posing in dangerous places). Here he at risking of falling into the bay, looking over towards the Norwegian church where Roald Dahl was christened.

The dolly with the trolley
Poor old Molly Malone has been called many things (the dolly with the trolley and the tart with the cart among them). But at least she wasn't being swarmed by the usual big-headed leprechauns on the day The Wombat went to see her.

Just checking for spiders
The Wombat has heard rumours about how spider plants got their name.
He's just checking this one out to be sure it's not true and that there aren't any giant tarantulas lurking inside.

A day out in Dublin
Determined to get to know Dublin even better, the Wombat went wandering along the River Liffey. He walked down to see the Jeannie Johnston, a replica of one of the ships which carried Irish immigrants to a new life in America.
Finally, he had a surprise encounter with the new President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, at the Famine Memorial.
