The main reason people visit Blarney Castle is to kiss the stone of eloquence – the famous Blarney, because it is said that whoever plants his lips on this saliva sticky stone will never be short of words ever again. Politicians for example make a visit here a priority before they begin their careers and it turns them immediately into gobshites who cannot shut up or say anything sensible ever again – Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Matt Hancock, Dominic Raab, Pritti Patel and so and so on.

No one will be kissing the Blarney stone or any other stone right now!

I don’t think so. I was due to fly to Spain in three weeks but that looks unlikely now!

Another good set. The last time I saw a Murphy’s was in Sydney.

Great shots. We’ve got an Irish Murphy’s here in Ballarat.

I only drink stout when I am in Ireland. It tastes better there for some reason!

Guinness yes. Lots of it. Blarney, no. And that was my attitude long before the age of Coronavirus… –Curt

The photo and description of the gardens is lovely. Last spring Tara and I skipped it because we had no interest in the kissing. I didn’t realize there was a reason to go anyway. While in Ireland we asked all the locals what their favourite place was. Most of them said Galway. That’ll be top o’ the list next time.

Galway would be close to the top of my list but it is a very long list!
