Of course if you want a real piece of Ireland (only joking Bean :) and have a car cross into county Clare - have a look at my pictures and inside pages.

Hope that this helps.

Hi Stevie, Hi Ferdia (think I might just stay in France with the quality of your answers ;o))

First Anniversary - bit of romance. In addition to the places Ferdia has suggested, how about heading out to Castleconnell - some lovely walks along the river.

Also head out to the Angler's Rest in Doonass - lovely pub by the edge of the river, some nice potentially romantic walks along there.

I hope the rest of your married life together is good.

Hi Bean - not a chance!

Hope it's all going well, make sure to load the truck with some nice vino on your return trip.

:)

Currently in the Loire Valley - not as romantic as I thought here..... Think a lazy afternoon in Doonass might look better than the sexy nuclear power station nearby!! They wouldn't let us in to see if Mr Burns was working today, lol!!
