Some Pictures


Newgrange Entrance Stone - We visited NewGrange, Knowth and Dowth, which Megalithic Passage Tombs, built circa 3200BC (older than Stonehenge)! The passage tombs have clear astronomical alignments such as the Winter Solstice Sunrise at Newgrange



We also visited Coumshingaun, a Corrie Lake in the Comeragh Mountains in Co. Waterford


This natural builder watches us bemused from its home built in 2 days, as we toil all summer!


Gerry and his joint!


Peter masters the chisel and mallet


Our stone mason Ken, places a lucky horse shoe under the front door step. The shoe came from Pauls cousins Jenny and Ciara whose pony Ricki died recently


Thomas - One Small step for man....



Grant, Alastair, Sam, and Graeme after raising the A-Frame


Nice hats - Thanks Els for keeping us warm in your cosy hand woven and knitted and natually dyed hats
