It's a long road; keep your eyes open

One of the things I love so much about Ireland is that you can actually stumble upon magical paths and fields, undeveloped areas and such tranquil spots to sit and think. Clearly I most often look for those along the coast. But here in the midlands they are never far away. Of course there are advertised gardens and attractions, but there are also a lot of paths that you just feel like you should follow. So usually do. And look at what you might find.

Stone fences built by hand so long ago.

Stone steps to a fabulous view.

More paths.

And a touch of magic.

So always keep your eyes open! (here ….and in life!)
