The Oldest Bridge in Ireland
The oldest bridge in Ireland is claimed to be this bridge built by St. Patrick in the 6th century. It’s on the grounds of Moville Boutique Hostel in Co. Donegal. I say “claimed” because there are others such as the Esker Bridge in Dublin and this one in Trim. Who knows? The hostel is lovely…
The sun peeks out over Killaloe

Looking down towards Nano Nagle Bridge from Parliament Bridge. October 2002. Note the tanks of the brewery in the background and the overgrown trees of the Peace Park to the right. Both gone now!
The river under the trees
The River Martin flows through the grounds of Blarney Castle under stone and wood bridges and of course under the canopy of overhanging trees. Blarney Castle today in glorious sunshine.

The view from Quinta da Foz
One of the benefits of working from home at Automattic is meeting up with your team a few times a year in various parts of the world. Obviously that did not happen last year, won’t happen this year either and we had been playing a meetup for April or May last year but that didn’t…
