This extended weekend I’ve had after my last day at work, has been really good. Thursday we went for dinner at my parents and started the long overdue process of defrosting the freezer. Friday I treated myself to a massage and after that we headed for the summer-house to fix a little problem with the roof so that it will stay dry inside for the winter. We stayed till yesterday evening and enjoyed the lovely autumn weather we were getting.
And since I decided to have some time off to regroup between jobs, I found the time to go for a quick visit to Ireland! I’m leaving Tuesday morning and will go back saturday morning to get ready for work the following monday. But a short visit is much better than no visit.
If you’re wondering what I get up to in Ireland here is some clues from my trip last autumn:
Autumn in Ireland part 2: Tuam
Autumn in Ireland part 3: Headford

My first time in Ireland outside of Dublin last summer is recapped in the four posts Holiday in Ireland:

And last, but not least I visited Ireland earlier this year as well Easter in Ireland:

Easter in Ireland Part 4: Castle Hacket and Lough Corrib
Have fun hope it doesn’t rain too much
Thank you! I’m bringing a rain coat in case.
Enjoy every moment for me, please. The thought of having no opportunity to return until beginning of March is so sad.
Looking forward to some photos. 😀
I promise i’ll both enjoy and try to get some nice photos ☺
Thank you. 🙂
Did you know that there’s an app ‘Dublin Traffic Cams’? Among others a beautiful view of the O’Connell Bridge and – I always can check on the weather. 😉
Wow I did not know that. Thank you for sharing!
What a stunning view! Is that the view from the summer house?
I was having a moment of “lull” (I think I used up the caffeine from my coffee), but your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks for a delightful post. Hugs.
Yes, it’s the view I had with my morning coffee yesterday! I feel very good at the moment and want everyone else to do the same. If I managed to lift your mood with my post it makes me happy. So I’m going to send some more positive vibes your way!
😀 Thanks Maja. Hugs!
Safe travels to you. I’ve never been to Ireland but hope to sometime. Enjoy the time off before the new job. Pretty exciting week coming up for you.
Thank you! I have a very exciting time ahead! Hope the week will bring a lot of good things for you too.
Same with me! Never been though I did make it to a few parts of Wales back in the 80’s. That was very important for me as my dad is Welsh (in part). His last name? Thomas. OMG! When I look in the phonebook in Mythr Tidvil (sp), there were thousands of Thomases! I couldn’t believe it.
My husband played with a group for several years that played a combination of Celtic and Americana. He says he called me back to him (we had met 10 years earlier) when he composed and played a song called “Welsh Prayer.”
Anyway, I digress (as usual). I am hoping we will travel together to Ireland, Scotland and Wales someday.
I have always felt an affinity for the Irish. Can’t wait to figure out why.
Peace,

I’ve never visited Wales, but I sure would like to. Ireland and Scotland I can highly recommend ☺
Sounds great! I’ve only been to Europe a couple of times. England, France, and Spain. Loved Spain!!! Next trip is to Amsterdam though. That’s one of my bucket list items.
Sound like a great trip!
The sun is shining here too, an amazing autumn day which we spent mostly at the sea-side. Beautiful. Hope all is ok with the summer house, it’s important all is sorted for the cold winter to come!
All is ok with the summer house. And all is ready for winter. Beautiful autumn days are best spent outside!
Holy smokes! Looks like I have some catching up to do with all those weblinks to Ireland. Wish I could go. Safe journey!
Hehe maybe you will go someday. Thank you, I’ll try to fly safe
I’m laughing because l get the strong impression you really, really like Ireland.:))) I have always wanted to visit there too. You make it more enticing. I hope you have a great time and get fully restored before your first day on a new job.
As my boyfriend is from Ireland we have a lot of family and friends over there. It’s a lovely place and they are lovely people 😊
Ah!! That explains a great deal. :))
I love getting massages! Lucky you!
It was quite a lovely treat!
Have fun in Ireland! 🙂
Thank you! I intend too. Using the wifi at the plane now will be landing soon.
Have a great time, Maja!
Thank you Paul! I’m enjoying ☺
Have a great time!
Thank you very much! I’m enjoying a lot.
Glad to hear! Enjoy it to the fullest…:)
😊 Doing my best. Will be sad to leave.
Ireland. I am envious. I was told by a friend in Germany that for her, visiting the different surrounding countries is similar to Americans visiting their neighboring states, but having visited my neighboring states and having visited other countries, I can honestly say, it is not the same thing. Enjoy your travels and take lots of pictures.
Thank you! I’m enjoying myself a lot!
Beautiful!!
Thank you!
WOW!!! It looks so beautiful!!!

I always enjoy visiting Ireland. It’s a lovely country ☺
