Ha'penny Bridge


This one hangs on my living room wall. We haven't met yet, but now when we have shared the living room for about a year I am quite sure that when we meet and this will take place the next week already, we will recognize each other pretty well.

The Ha'penny Bridge, known later for a time as the Penny Ha'penny Bridge, and officially the Liffey Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge built in 1816 over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. That's what Wikipedia tells about that. It also tells that it's 43 m long.

I also chose my airport book, a month ago when I was travelling to Malta again just because of the annotation on the back cover - Christine Rose is crossing the  Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin late one night when she sees a stranger :) ok, I know exactly that I am not going to look for any stranger on  Ha'penny Bridge but the name of the book "How to Fall in Love" somehow spoke to me, not to mention the Bridge that has hung on my wall for a year. The questions that begin with "How to .." have been my topic for the past years and although I haven't written them down anywhere, what of course could have been a great idea, I have struggled with them in my mind quite a lot and not always figured out the right answers. But nobody is perfect, but I am pretty close as my fridge magnet tells me every day and what's a part of my personal positive thinking, even if it sounds too self centered.  So the significant words  "Ha'penny Bridge" and "How to ..." made me to choose it and the proverb that suggests never to judge the book by it's cover was a bit useless this time, because it was a fun reading for my Malta week and helped me to mix my responsibilities with my desire for relax. And it helped me to pass the time and to get nearer to my real  Ha'penny Bridge experience.
