Your writings bring alive the magic of Ireland... I remember on my first visit there being blown away by seeing so many rainbows.

Plenty of rainy misty days with sunshine... my mother called it drizzling, and drizzling gave beautiful rainbows sometimes three at a time! Xxx

I loved reading your journey. I travelled there a few years ago and climbed to the top and was in awe of the cairn.

A truly magical place. I found in a little cafe a lovely watercolour painting of the cairn which I treasure as a reminder of that faery realm. Benbulben also magical - the land of the Sidhe.

What a thrill! I have seen Benbulben as Michael's family was from Rathlee in Sligo. On the Duffy side. I love Ireland, I felt the same way going through the Gap of Dunloe and ending up in the Black Valley. Thank you for the joy of climbing the mountain with you and RJ!

Thank you Linda. The whole West coast of Ireland is magical through and through. I love the stone mountains in the Burren, and Donegal has to be my most beloved County. Many many days I have spent travelling the length and breadth of Ireland. I was born in Tyrone and my family came from Wexford and Galway. The Sidhe mounds are everywhere. ***
