We decided to pay a long overdue visit to
The Rock of Cashel on our return journey from Dublin recently. As you can see the weather was (as it is today) very ... atmospheric and very cold but worth braving the elements to see one of Ireland's greatest national monuments. The site is right in the town of Cashel and comprises many buildings including a 12th Century High Tower, Romanesque Chapel and a 13th Century Gothic Cathedral. The site is also being considered for World Heritage Site status which would be a much-needed addition to our rather paltry two World Heritage Sites -
Bru na Boinne (amazing) and
Sceilig Mhicil (too scared of heights to visit!).
On another note - I arrived home today to find 3 lovely pots (one my favourite Midwinter Riviera jug) dashed to pieces - oh the joys of sharing your home with a growing kitten!
