Thank you, my friends for showing me around. It's just a short hint of the amazing things I saw when I was there. Thank you so much, everyone for being such great friends !

@Irishtankgod I thought all the windows were boarded up too and I was so amazed when I saw Donadea castle ruin anyway, I didn't notice the window, I was looking at the whole huge thing. One of the windows must be open though, you said the owl flew at you from in there somewhere, unless it was on the roof there and took off at you. I have the camera DVD still I didn't erase it (the raws) I will have to play this on my TV blown up large and take a look now huh.

@Irishtankgod The roof is gone on the ruin, Cathy, and the upper windows are not boarded up, in the big picture I have you can see through to the sky and the vines hanging down inside the ruin. That window we wondered about, the vines are hanging in there in the open window, lord knows what our brains make of the images of the vines shape.

@Irishtankgod In the middle window, top left ? I don't know what that is, the lens had water spots on it I found later but the light was behind that ruin, not in front of it. I remember walking in the shadow of the building , am I wrong there ? It looks strange though, you're right. I'll check the photo tomorrow ( the big one).

@tukspeacepipes Miss Chief had a long holiday at a cat spa- there was even a webcam, I could see her when I was away across the sea- amazing, the things they can do nowadays :-) She actually fought me a bit when we left, she was plump from treats and attention every day and spoiled beyond words, but she is happy now ...

@tukspeacepipes The tombstones are centuries old- that's Glendalough there and Donadea forest. I had a fantastic time visiting, amazing landscapes and wonderful friends there. Can't wait to visit again, so many things more to see there, as well as seeing my friends again :-)

You mean here?I love the countryside of The Emerald Isles:wild and untamed:the

tombstones must be centuries old and everywhere you look it's green.

It looks like you had a magical time there BB.
