Just back from my first holiday in Ireland in 9 years. We stayed just outside of Millstreet (about 40 miles from Cork and 20 from Killarney. My mother gew up in this small town) in a house called Clara View. The view of Claragh (at just under 1500 feet it's not much of a mountain, I know, but it's a splendid sight and the perfect respite from suburban life
You get striped skies in the south? Very pretty though.

ReplyDeleteAh Aileni my knowledge of Gaelic is just a few words...
Not too cold Nunyaa... it very rarely snows but it is bloody wet!
it is very lovely. it may not be much of a mountain- but it is peaceful :)
ReplyDeleteOh it certainly was Betmo. Virtually no traffic and the only sounds at night were the odd dog barking from farms and houses up the road
ReplyDeleteAh the green "hills" of Ireland. Did it rain all the time you were there? I spent the wettest July on record in Ireland at the time, no doubt surpassed since 1960!
ReplyDeleteStill a very beautiful place to visit.
Sounds like a wonderful holiday, the scenery is delightful :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Jams. Bet the time was too short plus running too fast.
ReplyDeleteAh jmb Millstreet and rain normally go hand in hand but this week it stayed dry, mercifully!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great holiday and long overdue Cherie
