    Nice photo! I love the ruin and the graveyard. History so close to modern things.

    It would surely be great to live in that island! If one could afford it, that is!

    Bealtaine - I did indeed, I picked up a brochure on Thursday at the Intergenerational Conference in DCU.

    BathroomBound - Have you been on the throne since yesterday? :roll:

    Magpie - I am staying on solid ground.

    Judy - Ireland has plenty of old ruins like that.

    Ramana - Ireland’s Eye is inhabited by the birds of the feathered variety.

    “Judy - Ireland has plenty of old ruins like that.”

    Yes, and Ireland would have one more if I moved there…….

    I lived on a dairy farm with black & white cows In Ireland, for 5 weeks. We went to see a stone ruin nearby. The owner invited us in for tea. I doubt that the cups were washed. He had a dirt floor. He was MOST CHARMING.

    Magpie - I think there might be one or two ruins a little older than you! ;)

    BHB - Maybe you had the special china for visitors. :roll:

    Steph - I thought you would get that one! :)
