For Taff;s Mum

Glad you enjoyed Killarney,, chuckled re "jaunty cars" as they are Jaunting cars ie that you go for a jaunt in. Had a free ride in one once as the jarvey ( they are travellers ie tinkers) took pity on me limping with a walking stick at Muckross Abbey. Imagine driving the narrow lanes at eg Gap of Dunloe behind three of these,
But they are a unique part of Killarney life.

Oops sorry, started rewding this before I realised it was supposed to be a private message....and now you've got me reminiscing and longing to go back! I often long for an afternoon in a boat on Muckross Abbey lake or wandering u the Gap of Dunloe. .....I'm going off to have a little cry for times past! Lol

HI Rosebud

It was certainly beautiful round Killarney. Some of the houses round there are stunning as well. Quite a few people on the trip said they could imagine living there - me included. I could tell the drivers of the "Jaunting Cars" are tinkers - we couldnt understand most of what they said LOL Ours was pointing out some things of interest & pointed out a tree - he said thats an Irish Oak tree - I said whats the difference between an Irish Oak & an English one - he said - These grow in Ireland
A couple of photos for you - bet you recognise them

Beeeeeautiful!
My husband longs for the day when we can go back to Ireland.
I have loved reading your posts about your holiday and now pictures as well

Did you enjoy your visit?Couldn't have picked a better time to come, weather here has been amazing this week

Stunning photos ...... I really want to go there. Ireland is renowned for being stunningly beautiful.

Rosebud - how lovely for you to be surrounded by such beauty.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

Yes we loved it. I suppose the weather made it better though. I think I could quite happily live there We will have to plan another visit maybe next year - couldnt get used to the "funny money" though All the coins look alike

It was so clean everywhere as well. No litter like there is round here & the people were brilliant - everybody was so helpful, they couldn't do enough for you

When I went with my ex boyfriend we seriously considered not returning home ...we fell in love with the place completely.
