Castles in the Sky by AnnK
















As a young child I remember dreaming about becoming a princess and that I would have a castle in the sky. The older I became I soon realised that this was never going to happen.

But I also learnt that many other wonderful things do happen. Things that I take for granted - like the joy of family, friends and the wonderful world around me.

Sometimes if we just take a step back and savour the things we take for granted maybe the dream of Castles in the sky are more possible than we think!

Gardening - A hobby that all can enjoy by Teresa Duffy





As a keen Gardener it is true to say that even those among us who do not garden can still enjoy the beauty of a well kept garden.

Gardens can range from the very formal like those of the National Botanic Gardens to the less informal and even wild gardens that encourage native wild animals and birds to live in our gardens.

A must for all visitors and people of Donegal is a visit to the wonderful gardens of Glenveagh. In all seasons the Gardens and Castle of Glenveagh provide a wonderful way to spend a few hours. If you are feeling energetic the walk to and from the Castle to the car park will give you a chance to see some of the wonderful wildlife there!

To be Carved On A Stone At Thoor Ballylee hd

I, the poet William Yeats,
With old mill boards and sea-green slates,
And smithy work from the Gort forge,
Restored this tower for my wife George;
And may these characters remain
When all is ruin once again

And smithy work from the Gort forge,
Restored this tower for my wife George;
And may these characters remain
When all is ruin once again.

To Be Carved On A Stone At Thoor Ballylee E.R.

I, the poet William Yeast,
With old mill boards and see-green slates,
And smithy work from the Gort forge.
Restored this tower for my wife George;
And may these characters remain
When all is ruin once again.
