Summer seems to be one of those seasons that always passes way too fast for me. Maybe it's the unstructured days, but whatever it is I don't seem to blog regularly. I've written a number of posts in my head whilst gardening, mowing the lawn, fighting with the watermelons etc., but for some reason they never seem to make it to the computer. This summer I we took a trip to Ireland and the UK. The trip started out as a nightmare, but the people and pace of life (and a good shower) quickly put me back to good spirits. You see we missed our connection in Atlanta and therefore were delayed by a day, the airlines lost our bags (for days!!)) and the underwear that I picked up (in a box) were thongs. I am not a thong kid of girl!!The people, though, always urged us just to stop and get a coffee and to relax. Once we all got a good shower and a change of clothes our attitudes improved and we could take in the breathtaking scenery and appreciate the slower way of life. I think I could love being a sheep farmer; on the other hand, I don't like alot of rain. I figured that I would share a few snaps of our journey. The first is a scene from our trip around the Ring of Kerry. You can see the Derrynane Bay and the Kenmare estuary in the background. I cannot give enough of a thumbs up for the trip. It is about a full day to drive around the thing, but the scenery you take in along the way is well worth it. The little towns are neat too.
The next scene is the Cliffs of Moher. They range anywhere from 294 ft above the Atlantic to over 700 ft. tall. These were really neat to see.
Another scene from the Cliffs of Moher showing the O'Brien tower at one end.
Stitching has been rather slow this summer, however, I have made progress on the Red Thread piece. I'm hoping for a happy dance within the next week!
Cheers,
