 Small roads commonly known as boreens, are longabandoned

coach roads and mass paths that are now overgrown with grass

but nonetheless quite firm underfoot. Dry stone walls are

not merely piles of rocks. They live and change with the season.

In the winter they glow with lichens and mosses and in the

summer they come alive with fuchsia and many other wild flowers.

The picturesque village of Blarney, County Cork. 

Home to Blarney Castle which in turn is home to the Blarney Stone.

Prople who kiss the stone are said to receive the gift of eloquense.

 Traditional Irish music is both played and heard with great

passion in the whole country of Ireland and has flourished amazingly 

during the recent years. Most common instruments for Irish music

include a fiddle a bodhran, an accordian and often spoons.

Mostly dance and music sessions are impromptu in pubs but

some have regulars who add zeal and fervor to the scene.
