Kath's birthday

Kath is 25 today! Still no spring weather just more cold and clouds. We drove up for the view from Wicklow Gap then parked the car a little way down the valley and walked 3.5 miles to Glendalough. There are some stone ruins left from the monastic settlement built in the 6th century and 2 loughs. Once down by the loughs we would have loved a cuppa to warm up but there were no cafes just a very busy hotel where scones are not served after noon....? We eventually got a takeaway drink from an outlet in the car park by the Upper lough. There was a queue of cars trying to get in and an attendant had to guide the cars in to any space which became available, one by one. Glad we parked miles away.

Once back home, after a rest for me whilst Martin and Kath exhausted the dogs, we went out to eat in the village to celebrate the birthday.

Cold birthday girl;

Lovely valley walk

Guess what Kath wants for Christmas
