Thursday Thoughts – Cheers!
When in Ireland, you just have to visit the Guinness Storehouse – Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction. And, if you do not like beer, there are so many other things to lay your eyes on…A highly recommended visit.

Cheers from people all around the world!
My favourite thing here was this giant pillar, a 1-2 ton dream, picturing the brewery’s history throughout the world. Impressive.

Thursday Thoughts – Bunratty?
The name Bunratty, Bun Raite (or possibly, Bun na Raite) in Irish, means ”river basin” of the ‘Ratty’ river. This river, alongside the Bunratty Castle, flows into the nearby Shannon Estuary. We visited for some hours and really enjoyed its genuin feel.
Bunratty Castle Plaque in Irish and in English
The first recorded settlement at the site may have been a Norsemen settlement/trading camp reported in the Annals of the Four Masters. in 977. But several castles were built – and lost – here.
The fourth castle, the present structure, was built around 1425. In 1956, the castle was purchased and restored by the 7th Viscount Gort, with assistance from the Office of Public Works. He reroofed the castle and saved it from ruin. The castle was opened to the public in 1960, and with its genuin 16th-17th century furniture, tapestries and works of art it has become a great tourist attraction.
The Great Hall
In a tiny room upstairs – a grand lit!
Surely they did not bring it up the narrow stairs…
Intricate and detailed woven structures
Interesting clockworks(?)

Thursday Thoughts – Waterford Crystal
Waterford, Ireland, has a long tradition of crystal making, in fact since the 18th century, and is well worth a visit.
If my cupboards were not already full of things…but, no, I did not buy anything. The temptation was not a little one though…What do you think about these?
Wordless Wednesday
CFFC: Gardens
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Gardens
My favourite garden is here in Sweden…but I can sometimes dream of having a really grand garden…with big trees and open grounds with perfect lawns. And of course, in my dreams there is always a giant greenhouse with rare and exotic plants.
Yes,,,you can always dream…
