Well, you could switch the tablet to desktop (as opposed to tablet), and I'd say that being on the legacy site would help, too.

What problems are you having?

Thanks, New Home. I just don't know how to do it. Somebody here showed me a few years ago and I managed to post a pic once with difficulty but I've forgotten how. There is a way with a tablet.

It's not Longwood, presuming you are referring to the Longwood in County Meath. I'm not aware of any other one.

Ok, it's not terribly far from Longwood.... Not terribly close either. Different county to Longwood though.

No, Straffan is a good bit bigger than this. The village is in Kildare but within a few kilometres of the Meath border.

Woot! Newtown, Co. Kildare (53°23'43.0"N 6°45'34.5"W).

This a new-ish replacement account, so I probably can't post links nor pics, so I'll open this up to the floor.
