Pictures from my walk today

beech tree in the yard with vines


the driveway

same

the back yard
walking up the road

cool trees across a field

another field and stones and stuff

A couple of things :
1. I will not come home with an Irish accent, at least in part because the people I am surrounded by have English accents
2. instead of eating "dinner" or "supper", the evening meal here is called "tea"
3. Thanks for the mail!
4. I am reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, approximately one chapter each day, which seems to me to be the proper way to read it. Book group, anyone? Or actually, if there is anything you want to read and discuss, tell me and I will search Atty's fairly wide book collection and see if I can work something out.
5. I am on skype most evenings while checking my email and such, so if you want to add me (NOT the same one I had in S. Africa, probably because I am inept with technology) please do: madeline.neenan is the name, or Madeline Neenan, or meneenan@gmail.com should all get you there.
6. If you are going to be in Ireland or really anywhere in Europe this spring, or know someone cool who is, please let me know. Where I really want to go is Greece. I also haven't been to Italy, any British Isles besides Ireland (although I'll be going to Leeds in England sometime), Norway, Finland, Russia, Bosnia...
:D

  1. I call Italy and Greece if we can do those countries justice in a week.

  2. I was just thinking about doing some sort of book disco with you as I wrote my email, but then I was like "naaahhh..."
    Ok, now I'm interested. I want to let you choose it, though. Put it in the email.

  3. By the way, your estate reminds me exactly of Pride and Prejudice.

    Let me know if you catch a glimpse of Mr. Darcy, ok?
