A wee taste of Ireland ... plus postcard info

I have so many photos of Ireland due to the fact we spent more time there so today I will share a few and maybe a few more another day if you wish to see them . Ireland was incredible in every aspect , the scenery , the people and the food , what more can you ask .

We took this ferry to Ireland , it was smooth sailing and took approximately  a little over an hour . We had our lunch on board and did a little shopping too .

Here is our first hotel in Ireland , the Slieve Russell , beautiful !!

This beautiful girl graced the stairway .

 The grounds around the hotel were amazing with many gardens and interesting things to see . 

Interesting vines.

This is  apparently the smallest church in the world , super tiny , squeezed between those buildings .

This was the floor inside , do you see a quilt pattern ?

                      Knock Cathedral , a famous church that has been visited by the Pope

                                 This golden  Rose was gifted by the Pope to the Cathedral 

                                              Donna and Mom enjoying the entertainment  

A mixture of song and dance in this performance  , we had excellent entertainment . 

Now we are  in Bunratty Castle Hotel , another lovely place to stay .

Some of the housing in the area , you don't see wooden houses here , all stone or brick .

Love the fences .

Donna enjoying some time with the horse , I am sure she was missing her own .

I had a chance for a little pat too , as you can see it was a little cooler this particular day , I had several layers on but was comfortable .

A beautiful castle we went to visit , I should have kept a journal so I could remember the names .I just didn't have time to be honest , I did bring along a journal but the only thing in it is a sprig of Heather .

 Well I will leave it at that for today but before I go I have given a little thought to the Postcard exchange and the fact I am so unorganized so lets put the date ahead to November 15th  . If you already have your postcard made that is wonderful , I hope to get names assigned by the end of this week and if anyone else is interested please let me know  as soon as you possibly can with your info . I didn't realize it would take me so long to return to normal after my return home so I am sorry for this delay but I think it will all  work out for the best . Thanks for your understanding .

 Thanks for stopping by and I will share a little more of Ireland another day .
