The Fruit and Flower Blog


And yes, it is exactly what is sounds like. A blog about fruits and flowers. No worries, I am not much of a horticulturalist, so not a lot of words to this one, just photos from my recent travels through beautiful Ireland upon which I hope you will enjoy feasting your eyes. I enjoyed taking them. So without further ado, here we go, lassie. Or laddie, as the case may be.

Let's take the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin, shall we? It's a gorgeous, sunshiny day, and there is no getting seasick, thank the heavens, just a brisk breeze to ripple the water gently. Fortunately, nobody noticed my unaccompanied inner child on the loose (see sign) and they left me in peace for three heavenly hours, just sitting, soaking it all in. Then from Dublin we'll head out into the countryside and visit some lovely gardens....(and just click on a photo see them bigger).

Nothing better than a freshpicked raspberry at the end of the day...

It's a....?? But kind of cool, yes?

 
Nature doing her thing at the end of a beautiful day....

 
That's it for today, check back for more travel photos in the coming weeks! Mountains and lakes and beaches and landscapes and...well, beautiful stuff. It's happening, right here on....the blog.
