Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry

This tree in front of our house was cut off by the storm as well! It must have walked away on its two legs, as it was gone, when we arrived home after our Valentine's weekend out.

I think it's needless to explain as the pictures show how beautiful our Valentines' weekend out was. The weather was great as well and we could not have been in a lovelier area. To our delight it felt a bit as if there was spring in the air. We would not mind as we have enough from winter at this stage!

A double rainbow!

Ireland after the storms

There was not much snow in winter 2013/2014, only a little a bit on higher grounds as you will see in my next post, but we had very bad storms ( up to 170 km/h), high waves and floods. Here are a few photos of some areas taken after the storms and horrible weather.

The whole parking area was under water, so we could not walk to the castle, but the swans enjoyed it, they
thought it was a new lake!








There were 14 mobile homes destroyed on this site, the owners probably won't be happy about that, but as that are only holiday homes and not their permanent residences they will get over that, I suppose.
Appr. 100.000 households were without electricity for days, farmers' fields became lakes and lots of houses got damaged by the storms and the high waters.
