With St. Patrick's Day coming next month it made me think of my trip to Ireland with John in 2004. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Ireland for 11 days and it was the trip of a lifetime! All of Ireland was beautiful! I especially loved touring the Waterford factory and the Beleek factory. We also went to Jerpoint Studios where they blow glass. I bought alot of things there but my favorite is a paperweight which has green and blue swirls throughout it-just gorgeous! The people in Ireland were so friendly and nice to us. We also got to spend 3 days with our friends in Ballyliffin and 1 of those days we went to their house in Derry! Paddy Ann and her family opened their home, lives and family to us and we will never forget their generosity, friendship, kindness and time with them! It was definitely a magical time for John and I!
What a lovely cottage on your header. My mother's family is from Ireland. I would love to visit someday.

I love your header! Don't you just want to live there?! We last visited in 1992 and stayed in the west of Ireland. Beautiful, beautiful countryside.
ReplyDeleteLove the new header! I always wanted to go to the Waterford factory as I collect it. Only ever made it to Northern Ireland, but my brother raves about the south.
ReplyDeleteNan-I do just want to live there-it was so beautiful!

We are going to Spaint next month to visit our son. I wish we had time to go to Ireland because it's so close and so reasonable to fly there from Spain. Maybe some day.

Love your header Sherri! What a wonderful place to spend an anniversary. Ireland and Italy are my dream places to one day get to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy husband who is also named John) and I have always wanted to go to Ireland. It looks like such a beautiful place. I'm sure the Waterford factory must be an interesting place to visit too.

I agree with the others, the cottage in your header is so quaint and it would be fun to step inside and have a look around. I would love to visit Ireland and meet some of my relatives. My uncle has gone many times, and says if you go once, you're treated like family for ever! The Irish sound like such great people.
