Walking this morning… Pictures of Ireland

[Lazy Gardener]

Sumi, would I be out of line to ask where you grew up, and how you happen to be in Ireland?

Beautiful pics! Love the pub - gimme a shot of Jameson and a bowl of Cornflakes!

FEM, they had canned and other foodstuff tucked in behind the counter too! This was the best shot I could get of the booze and food though. I left my camera in the car and the light inside the pub was very low. It was an amazing place! Been running since the 1770's!

No bother I grew up in South Africa and moved to Ireland nearly 4 years ago. We got tired of the mess S.A. turned into and decided Ireland is a better place to raise my son. DH is a Brit, but England is near impossible to get into any more and Ireland's MUCH nicer, so we came here.

Sweet. I knew you had spent at least some time in S.A.

I'm in Kilkenny city. Some random pics...

Interesting history on the side of an old house. A tree in the castle grounds and two ducks paddling upstream to the river.
