This is the first of a couple of pictorial entries to catch up on what I've had to leave out
Ruins of the Fennell home at Barrowhouse; full size of house is indicated by the bit of remaining wall see to the left of the bushes. Believed to be the home of Michael and Bridget (Whelan) Fennell and his parents Nicholas and Ann.
Garden at Burtown House, Kildare; home of a different Fennell family.
I've never seen a tree with green branches with red tips, which I suppose is the new growth
At Moone near the high cross - I love views through windows especially without glass
This horse is in a field near my cottage. Anyone know the breed?
With all the beautiful buildings I couldn't resist this tacky one - it's a B&B
Johnstown Castle in Wexford - excellent displays; looking forward to interior being decorated in 2018.
If you want to move peat from a bog you need an appropriate 'sled' that won't get stuck
Camping might be fun in one of these - belonged to a tin selling tinker
Fortunately I just go to the store for my butter; note height of the doorway in this famine cabin replica
And this is how much the ancestors got to eat every day - before the blight
Fabulous quilt, made in 1847 and donated by a descendant; note the stuffing - I wonder was it cosy?
Tools of the carpenter and wheelwright - as Art Byrne was in Ireland and Canada
This quilt is a reproduction - very ornate - every stitch by hand; but this is a new one and probably not stuffed with paper
Courtyard of Johnstown Castle - homes of staff like the Groomsman; see the peacock?
Daniel, our guide at the Irish Heritage Park; neolithic temporary "tent"
Entry to the ring fort at the Heritage Park
reproduction celtic cross
Should have opened with this one
