errr, yes! we've met a few dogs that take themselves for a walk- they come to say hello and won't let you go 'til you've patted them and talked to them :lol:

Your photos are so very beautiful Mumof2. :hug1: I love seeing the places you've been!
I LOVE the travelers! I did not see any caravans like that when we were there. It's great that they let you take their photo. :yes: Looks like they must lead a pretty rustic life.
thank you Tink! Yes, I would think they do live a fairly simple life - i must admit i don't ever remember seeing a van like that before - i've seen the pony and traps alright, but not the travellers....Quote:

i can't describe the feeling it gives me just being there - it's breathtaking and my photos really don't do the scenery any justice at all......
Woo Hoo! Just checked and Willow can go to Ireland and doesn't need a passport or anything.:D
*puts Ireland on places we must visit*
I promise you, Mumof2 I share those indescribable feelings. :yes: They can't be put into words well, but Ireland grabs your soul and doesn't let go, doesn't it, eh?

i didn't go for many years, since i was a young girl 'til i was maybe 20 ish, and then shortly after that Mum and Dad bought an old cottage with a big field out back - we used to go over a couple of times a year.
we had some fun there, and froze in the winter! the first one up in the mornings had to get the fire going :lol:
unfortunately my boys didn't get the benefit of it as it was sold when Jamie was a baby - it had got to the stage when all their visits were spent fixing it up, but my nephews had some fantastic fun there when they were young! :yes:
yaaay! do it Dawn, you'll love it - now of course you'll find that some places aren't as nice as others but overall it's fabulous. you need to experience Ireland, you really do! :yes:Quote:

There is something about that country. Once it gets you, it never lets go.
I truly hope to be able to make it back to Ireland some day and take Donna with me. I was there in the 80's and drove an American car stopping daily in a local pub for a pint and spending nights in B&Bs. It is a beautiful country.
