Glad it’s got you hooked. It’s funny coming back to this day almost a year after starting when I’m about to enter Cornwall. Nice shot of the Angel wings on your site
My first day of your blog, through a Twitter link. I’ve had a fascination of Ireland and The British Isles since early childhood. Unfortunately, a trip from the states has not been possible but I feel that your journey may supplement my understanding despite lack of travel. Looking forward to this. Thank You, Jon
Just looking at the Great Hall, Queens House. As I scroll the page on my PC the floor appears to rotate. Optical illusion on my laptop. Anyone else see that?
Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Cancel reply
