Come with me …..
.. while we walk along the banks of the River Martin, towards the Blarney Castle, Co. Cork …
… the path leading to the Castle meanders through part of the 60 acres of parkland …
… with trees in their autumnal shades …
… is Sleeping Beauty in her slumber, waiting for her handsome Prince inside the castle surrounded with thorny rose bushes and climbers …? …
…. crossing over the Blarney River we come across the Castle reaching high above it’s rocky foundation …
… no .. not up these steps ..
.. we must pass the tower …
… is Sleeping Beauty in her slumber, waiting for her handsome Prince inside the castle surrounded with thorny rose bushes and climbers …? …
… let’s enter the gate …
… and climb 127 very narrow steps ….
.. not quite at the top … but take a breather and enjoy the view …. overlooking the castle wall and road below it …
… just like the doves …
… just like the doves …
… phew .. at the top of the Castle’s keep where the man who-holds-you-ever-so-tightly-while -you-bend-backwards-pursing-your-lips-to-kiss-the-Blarney Stone … awaits his next ‘victim’ …
…. hubby !! … actually it was me …. hubby didn’t want a turn (!) .. but was kind-of coerced !
… while I leaned over the battlements to take in the beauty of the surroundings
