Celtic Radio Community > Ireland > A Beautiful Irish Web Site

Let me share with you this web site too that has a wonderful variety of feature articles on Ireland's culture, customs, recipes, language and more. I've spent hours perusing this place...

http://www.irishcultureandcustoms.com/index.html

Here's a bit from the article "Irish In Love":
'The Realm of Romance' is bigger than West Virginia and smaller than Ohio. But for such a tiny place, Ireland is a magnificent, multi-faceted gem, blessed with an abundance of details and differences. Majestic mountains sweep down to the sea. Miles of stone walls line fields filled with black-faced sheep. Tall, flowering hedges shade narrow, winding roads. Ancient castles and mystical abbeys dominate pastoral vistas. And, pastel-hued cottages dot river valleys strewn with wild flowers. What a magical place to begin a romance or married life together!"

What a wonderful description!! Mmmm, I shut my eyes and can smell the peat fires as we drive across the countryside....

Lovely looking site! Already bookmarked and I am looking forward to spending many hours there to explore more.

Thanks for the link! I am enjoying it almost as much as I am the music that I am listening to. (Yes, its highlander radio... but its a very toe tapping song... litteraly riverdance)

Listen, I spent awhile looking around the site too and I was almost blue when I finished... it made me want to visit Ireland again sooo much. Ah well, maybe someday. When the time is right, it'll come to pass!

I love everything about the website. I haven't been to Ireland yet, but I will someday. Image all that in an area smaller that Ohio!! I think that I have Ireland built up to be bigger'n TEXAS, in my mind. Can't wait to go but till then, I'll settle for this fine website!

Thanks!

I just had this sent to me from the owners of our local Irish gift shop. It's a monthly e-zine you can subscribe to. Not as flashy as the others shown here, but this comes right to your e-mail.

THOSE are the kinds of cemetery scenes we saw when we visited Ireland that simply blew me away!! Such gorgeous, intricate crosses... some of them ancient, some of them more recent... but all touched my heart.

Thank you for sharing the photos!
