From Far&InBetween:

“Kylemoore  Abbey in Ireland - A door in the Victorian Walled Gardens
The owner of this great castle built this garden for his wife, and the garden 
has high walls so they could have privacy. However, she died at a young age
when they were vacationing in Egypt. Afterwards, he rarely came back to the
castle, and the Benedictine Nuns are now taking care of the gardens.”

More info about the Victorian Walled Gardens here.

There will be an engagement party in Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland on Saturday the 9th of July 2011 in the Sheebeen, just outside Westport Quay.

There will be live music.

Rock of Cashel, Cashel, Ireland, c. 1100s

“The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. According to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles(30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock’s landing in Cashel.”
