Ireland in Spring = Daffodils

Spring is def springing all over Ireland now! Here's a pic taken by Leathermanman, on a bicycle ride to Blarney today. No mean feat, it's about 12km from here in Cork. Ah well, there's some post-Turkey energy there.

The Crazy Hip Blog Mamas are having a Spring has Sprung photo week, so I'll try to let them know this fine sunshine and daffodils are here.

Beware though, anyone under 6 years old can't go into the fine historic house in the background - Blarney House has liability issues. Our hands are tied, she said, nothing we can do. What? It's a house for chrissakes, not the Crown Jewels...What do they think a child will do, grope all the old furnishings! Hello, it's got a responsible parent with it. Ah well, another source of revenue lost. The Irish obsession with litigation, regulations, partnered with the 'what can you do?' attitude, drives us NUTS every week.

We had a great game of hide-and-seek behind all the bushes though, anyway, when I was there with the Pumpkin.
