Just in time for Halloween to, Morbid love it :)

Question is did you drink out of the spring? Did you get rust poising?
No, I thought of it, but didn't :hide I'm a bit unsure about how clean that cup is!

Cahir castle

Look to the right of the little window. There is a cannon ball lodged in the wall, from a siege back in the 1600's

Stopped by an old pub/grocer in Abbeyleix for a coffee and found this. Talk about booze and breakfast?

Sumi, would I be out of line to ask where you grew up, and how you happen to be in Ireland?
No bother :) I grew up in South Africa and moved to Ireland nearly 4 years ago. We got tired of the mess S.A. turned into and decided Ireland is a better place to raise my son. DH is a Brit, but England is near impossible to get into any more and Ireland's MUCH nicer, so we came here.
