Sweet Adare.

 We are enjoying the fabulous Spring weather this week and on Thursday we visited the picture post card town that is  Adare in Limerick.

I have visited Adare before on this blog but anyway here's some pictures of an Irish town that could be in Dorset:

Gerald Griffin Poet lived here.
Sweet Adare poem on a gable of the house where the Poet Gerald Griffin once lived.  He was only 36 when he died.

Dave's Outpost.  Not me!
