It was fun! Yes, you should go back. I'm finding out how amazing this country and its people are.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-40695710195044179172007-08-01T08:11:00.000-04:002007-08-01T08:11:00.000-04:00My favorite pic, Ruth, is when the man is holding ...My favorite pic, Ruth, is when the man is holding you after you got up from kissing the Blarney Stone! The look on your face! Tell Inge she has a winner.<BR/><BR/>Now you're really making me want to go visit Ireland again. It was so long ago (almost 20 years!).Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-48068260724137877002007-07-31T17:47:00.000-04:002007-07-31T17:47:00.000-04:00rauf, it's funny you told that story in the castle...rauf, it's funny you told that story in the castle, because I heard there were pictures somewhere in Blarney of women in the 19th century wearing their long hooped skirts and going up to kiss the Blarney Stone. How did you know?<BR/><BR/>I think you're right about the composition for the rose picture. Unfortunately, I am quite afraid of more window, since the light always throws my lighting off. I liked the curtain material, it was very rich.<BR/><BR/>They talk a lot about the "luck o' the Irish" but I don't know where that got started. Yes, rabbit's foot and four leaf clover are good luck symbols.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-59227537609407342222007-07-31T10:41:00.000-04:002007-07-31T10:41:00.000-04:00i can visualise women walking about the castle wit...i can visualise women walking about the castle with their tight and heavy dress and a metal basket frame under their skirts. You don't see their feet moving. it looks as though they are floating. i have seen them in movies. if you remove movies from me Ruth there is nothing left in me. i can only visualise myself as a prisoner, seeking her majesty queen Ruth's blessings. you see my pictures and grant me a kighthood and a piece of land, 'go forth old man, you need not beg on the streets no more'<BR/>give him something to eat for godssake and give him a bath.<BR/><BR/>your majesty is very kind.<BR/><BR/>Actually Ruth, even the royal ladies used to have a bath only once in a while, (twice in a year)<BR/>but they used a lot of perfume and used to carry flowers. commoners only once in a year.<BR/><BR/>So we expect some poems in Synchronising, now that you have kissed the stone ??<BR/><BR/>i would have liked a little more of window in the yellow rose picture Ruth.<BR/><BR/>I know about rabbit foot and three leaf clover but don't remember what it is, some luck thing ? the place looks so neat.<BR/><BR/>i am in Ireland now Ruth. thanks for taking me on the tour.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.com
