Another month is almost gone and it's been a good month. The virus figures have reduced significantly and people are going out again meeting up in large groups and it's just great getting back to normal. Today my sister called up and we surprised her by bringing her to see Blarney gardens in Blarney, Co. Cork. We had all been to the castle in previous years when our American cousins came to visit but haven't been back since. We never actually walked through the huge 60 acres of sprawling parklands which include gardens, avenues, arboretums and waterway gardens.
We first sat and had tea and cake in the café before beginning our stroll through the colourful pathways.
It was busy with tourists. They were happy and enjoying their surroundings. It felt great to hear all the foreign accents again after an absence of two years.
The photos are only a glimpse of the beauty. The herbaceous border is my favourite. I really didn't want to leave. We didn't get to see everything even though we stayed until closing time. We will be back!
