today. I am writing this from Adare Manor. I don't think I'll leave this place. It is so gorgeous and I am having a pot of tea and biscuits in the most beautiful surroundings. We have just had a glorious day going up to the Cliffs Of Moher and then up through the Burren. Our half Irish niece, Maree, had told us how to park down from the Cliffs and trudge across the farmer's field to get the best views of the cliffs and so we did just that and saw them from an incredible vantage point. From there we drove up through the Burren. Hadn't even heard of that before but it is the part of Ireland that is not green fields and stone fences. It is stone fields and stone fences and fascinating. Especially with all the wildflowers going off with the rain and sun now.
We have had a great few days here. One in the Ring of Kerry, one in the Dingle Peninsula and one around Killarney. Even though the weather could have been better for the first few days it hasn't stopped us seeing anything at all and we have thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful part of the world. The Irish people are the nicest in the world. They are just so helpful and of course that tilt in their voice is so charming.
We feel very very comfortable in this country and added to the fact that there is so much to see we will be leaving very reluctantly.
John is off exploring this beautiful place at the moment so I had better join him.
