That's the trouble with the challenge, unless you visit a whole heap of bloggers, you get so few coming by. <br /><br />I adore Ireland, have visited twice. Saw so many old ruins, but didn't know the history of half of them. The first castle I ever saw was looming right beside the road as we headed south from Dublin. What a treat.<br /><br />Lovely to have you back in the blogosphere. I only hope you don't burn yourself out again! I will be back in a week or so to do another bulk read. <br /><br />I invite you to consider posting to the WEP prompts I mentioned on my blog post. We write to a prompt every month. A lovely group, always a few newbies each time. You can just post a photo if you want. Expecting the entries to be down with the A~Z happening, but going ahead anyhow.<br /><br />Denise Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-82428127084641078192014-04-16T10:29:36.967-05:002014-04-16T10:29:36.967-05:00The Abbey is truly beautiful.

Great idea for kick starting the blog.<br /><br />So lovely to have you 'back in town'.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353700576663217563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-12431825664165631702014-04-16T09:30:42.699-05:002014-04-16T09:30:42.699-05:00The Abbey is lovely, even in ruins.
