Ireland

	"The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scotts as a joke, but the Scotts haven't seen the joke yet." - Oliver Herford "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever." - Sigmund Freud (speaking about the Irish) "We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English." - Winston Churchill Powerscourt Gardens, Co.Wicklow

	While climbing the big Sugarloaf Mountain, we came across these lovely Gypsy mares and foals grazing free. Gypsy horses are owned by travelling people, they don't own land so their horses are often turned out on public land.

	We just got back from a brilliant holiday in Ireland! We went over to celebrate Dad's 70th. We all had such a lovely time, Ireland was, as always, beautiful but the weather was cold and wet! Ireland June2008
