Greetings!
Another wonderful blog! Our one and only time in Ireland some years ago was also more or less rainless (although colder than we would have liked, even though it was around the time of Bloomsday in June). Hope it warms up for the two of you! Best from Singapore! David and Susan

Oh, and its a pretty place it tis! GRIN I think the Blarney stone is full of Blarney, if you have to stand nearly on your head to kiss the thing! LOL I loved the pink door and Twyla would too! My favorite was the Sphere though...really neat to find something that shiny and new in such an old place. More in email soon, I promise!
