  • The simple beauty of Ireland is often overlooked. Many visitors to Ireland head straight to the well-known tourist hotspots and don’t take the time to stop and appreciate the general beauty that lies in the lesser known spots. Sure, the tourist areas are superb. That is why they attract so many people.
    So why explore the lesser known spots? Because they have a simple and, in many cases, a gentler beauty. These places can really destress a troubled soul.

    Thank you Graham for reminding me how beautiful it is out west, being from Dublin I have not been there in a very long time. Perhaps it’s time

      More changes there in the last 33 years than in the previous 330.!
      Take time to get back in case it changes beyond recognition.

      I will take your word for it. I’ve known Ireland for less than three years. The first time here was June 2022 when I instantly fell in love with the country.

      Another Englishman, Geoffrey Moorehouse , travelled to Ireland and wrote a book about Skellig Michael - a unique place well worth your time if you have not yet discovered it?
      Your appreciation is extremely good to see.
      Thank you.

      There are so many places for us to discover. Because we’ve been doing up the house we haven’t yet been able to spread our wings. We will get all over Ireland eventually.

      That is what I thought but it isn’t quite like any illustration I can find. The centre of the flower isn’t quite the same. It flowers each year in the corner of our back meadow so, next summer, I’ll try to get a better shot. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

      Thank you for those lovely comments. The Irish winters are quite mild but wet. If you move over try to get a property that doesn’t suffer from damp. In many older properties, ours for instance, it is a battle to keep it under control but it is a small price to pay to live in such a wonderful place.

    Hi Old Hiking Geezer,
    It sounds like you had a lovely experience exploring the beautiful landscapes of Ireland! It's great to hear that the tour inspired you to appreciate your surroundings more. I hope the knee injury is healing well too.
    Enjoy your time in the countryside and all the adventures that come with it! It’s wonderful to hear that both you and Mrs. Old Hiking Geezer are settling into retirement and enjoying your time together here in Ireland! Retirement can be a great opportunity to explore new interests and enjoy the beauty of nature.
    I am looking forward to your next adventure.

    I'm loving this series from you Graham, another well made video. The flower you wanted to identify was Purple Marshlocks a species of Marsh cinquefoils.

      Thanks mate. I thought it might be a a Purple Marshlocks but their flowers are far more star-shaped.
