I had reviewed The War Memorial Gardens last May. But today wasn’t about my view of the park.
It was about a group of people, a great group of people I should add, who took some time out of their Sunday, to enjoy a little of the great outdoors. On a slight side note it was [...]

Niall and Lauren did something similar over on Simply Zesty
But whilst this list refers to those only green – it is here I must side step slightly….

kilkenny Castle Rose Garden & Park

On Monday the 26th October 2009 I went to visit Kilkenny Castle Rose Park & Gardens. I went under the recommendation of my good friend Pat Fitzgerald.

Harvest Time…

After so much rain… the sun finally came out. And when it did farmers worked literally round the clock to get done what was needed.
