Ireland and England

 An excellent trip to Ireland - ending up in London to see Poppy. In Ireland we stayed at a couple of castles and drove to see some ancient monuments, castles and gin and tonics. The Cliffs of Moer, Boats and weaving in Killybegs and Grianan of Aileach - an Iron Age hilltop ringfort.  In Northern Ireland we saw the elusive and legendary “cousin Johnny” in his natural habitat with his wife Wendy . The Devils causeway and The Dark Hedges were also highlights .Also our London flight was cancelled so we got the overnight ferry from Belfast to Liverpool with a cabin and then a high speed train to London, then a tube and a few trains more and we got to Poppy’s hotel. Excellent times. After the pictures there are some videos - showing an Irish Weaving Loom in action, Poppy and Fred Sheeran rocking the bar and the frosty view from the train.
