Fairies in the Garden




This year's holiday was something I've been dreaming of for over 10 years, a cabin in the wood's. A place I could write and breathe, gather as much information as I could. I came across the cabin's completely by accident while searching for pictures to help me verbalize what I was thinking. The cabin's are situated in a small forest in the Ballyhoura Mountain in Limerick, Ireland. We booked in for 4 days 3 nights in Ballyhoura Forest Luxury Homes and started to plan everything, including the road trip.


We, Sofya my daughter, Aoife her best friend and myself, wanted to do as much driving as possible so we took the long way round. Making the 4 and a half hour trip nearly 9 hours.

 

We managed to pass through 15 of the 26 Counties in the Republic of Ireland, including Dublin, Kildare, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick, Cork, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Longford, Westmeath and Meath, we might have passed through a few of these several times.

Time was spent writing, posing and mainly relaxing. It was beyond beautiful. The cabins were clean and comfortable. The locals were friendly and helpful, and to top it off there was a Fairy Garden 30 mins away from where we were staying.

I could have stayed longer but the girls were beyond happy to be back in the land of phone service and Wi-Fi!
















Here are a few of the wonders of the trails provided by the forest.





















The best find was Terra Nova a Fairy Garden just 30 mins from the Cabin. 











One of my favorite places on the planet!
