SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!

One last picture from Dublin….I walked
in to a pub and ordered a Guinness, just 
because I couldn't face telling people I
hadn't had a single Guinness while in 
Ireland!



























It's only 10 days since I left Ireland, 
getting on the ferry at Dun Laoughaire,
but it feels like much longer.


At the back of the ferry, watching Ireland disappear behind us….



The ferry arrived at Holyhead, in Wales, and I was
picked up by Sue and Simon, and we drove through
the gorgeous Welsh and English countryside until
we arrived at their home.  It was a long drive, and
we were all wiped out.  Early to bed, and then the
next day was a do-nothing day for all of us.  The
day after that was a beautiful sunny Sunday, and we
decided to go for a ramble….





We walked through fields, and met a curious herd
of cows who followed us to the fence.




Good friends, leading the way...

Not too far away is the Manor, belonging to the 
Lord and Lady something-or-other….not 
meaning any disrespect.


The Manor, Your Ladyship….


Crossing through fields
And passing through the village
And finding marvellous trees
And climbing into them

One of
the few
remain-
ing red
telephone
boxes,
not so
well
used.


















And a very old church, called, I think
St. Thomas.  It is built on the foundations
of a church connected with the Knights
Templar, from back in the 1200's.

OK, now I'm only 8 days behind….but I need to post this
one so that I can be ready to go out for my final dinner
in Paris!!
