Denis wanted to buy this site with the old house and the tower once. Pity that he did not, I find it lovely and would have liked to live there! The sea view must be amazing!
It was a lovely day today, warm and only a gentle breeze

We went to Hook Head, but this time I did not take photos of the light house, as I was more interested in the sea and the sun light.

We hoped to see some whales, because there were some seen in this area recently, but tough luck again!

That is Duncannon strand, we enjoyed our walk on the beach.






But soon the peaceful scene was disturbed by a guy on his motor bike, who was desperately seeking for attention.






The farmer is probably fed up of keeping ordinary sheep. Maybe we see more lamas in Ireland in future.

A bit of Kilkenny and Carlow

We always like to go for a walk in Graiguenamanagh in County Kilkenny. It is a quiet town on the river Barrow and it has a nice walking path along the river and up to the forest. We saw today that there are some house boats for sale, I would immediately buy one, if I had so much money to spend.




Nobody knows how this old mill stone got there. It is assumed it was produced at the same place where it is and probably forgotten.

While there is lots of snow everywhere in Europe, we have temperatures up to 9 degrees and nature starts to blossom again.
St Mullins in County Carlow

Very artistic graffiti on the old flour mill.
