I have returned home from my friends Terri and Lol in Clifden, Connemara. The Arts Festival was in full swing in the town, with a real buzz in the air! Staying with my friends whose house is outside of the town near the ocean was a calm and reviving experience. This is one of their beautiful cats in the garden.
This is Kylemore Abbey, where I stopped for tea and a welcome rest…it’s a long drive, over three hours in total!
If you look closely you can see the mountains behind the tree…
Then I arrived home…
Three days away makes a big difference as I walked the woodland gardens admiring the rapidly developing colours of Autumn. Today is the Equinox and midway between Lughnasadh and Samhain, so the Autumn is really colouring the land.
Jack was delighted to have me home…well the feeling was mutual, as I was over-joyed to see him!
Lots of work to get done now that I am feeling invigorated with new thoughts and ideas, especially here in the Lughnasadh Garden…masses of bindweed to remove as well!
It is pure joy to be able to be outdoors at this time of year…ah…if only there were more hours in the day!
Thanks to all of you who have ordered a calendar…I shall be posting calendars and books in the morning! Lots of calendars left…the link is at the top of the page!
