I have just been studying my map of where we are going to be going in Ireland, when we are on holiday soon.<br /> I think it might be near where you were raised? We fly into Dublin. Then the 4 of us hire a car and drive across to near Ennis. The young 2 are going to a wedding at Dromoland castle. We are staying nearby at Clare Inn Hotel. We are going to drive up to Galway probably and do thngs in that general area before driving back to Dublin by a different route. We are only there 4 days and 3 nights so any must do or see things from you?Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-76845633280189644472011-05-06T17:39:42.922-04:002011-05-06T17:39:42.922-04:00A lovely post.

...Well done Ben. You got a better crop than we did.<br /><br />You asked about the book that I found disturbing.<br /> If you Google Cormac McCarthy you can find some reviews of the book "The Road." It is a father and son's journey in post apocalypyic America. I had to finish reading it but is wasn't pleasant. Let's hope it never comes to that.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-19859610219483067362011-05-02T05:25:53.348-04:002011-05-02T05:25:53.348-04:00How lovely, it does indeed make the heart sing.

I always used to wander around the garden and see what was coming out, and loved foraging for blackberries, mushrooms, and having as many plants as could possibly be fitted always gave me such joy. <br />I wonder what related and other talent your Bean will sprout.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-61011729879516909102011-05-02T04:03:13.814-04:002011-05-02T04:03:13.814-04:00Good to see you back, Molly.

And yes, blueberries are persnickety, and fussy, and need acidic soil, and the patience of Job, which would disqualify me at the starting gate!
