Mexican born, Dale Chihuly is an innovative artist working with glass. Kew Gardens hosted a stunning selection of his work from the past 50 years. Many of the pieces were set against the unique backdrop of the gardens, other pieces were displayed in one of the art galleries at the gardens.
The exhibition was named " Reflections on nature" and the artist had said
" I want my work to appear like it came from nature, so that if someone found it on the beach or in the forest, they might think it belonged there"Lue lisää

Swansea
16. heinäkuuta 2019, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
We spent time in Swansea, Julia's partner Adam's hometown, staying with Adam's Mum and Dad, Nettie and William. First class hospitality at its best. Swansea is a seaside city on the south coast of Wales, with a population of 300,000 +The Gower Pensinsula is known for sandy beaches such as Rhossili Bay. Mumbles Peir is a long boardwalk, with a must stop at the famous Joe's ice creamy, yum yum. A feature of the area is known as The Common, open unfenced grazing fields with sheep and horses free to roam. We passed many groups of ponies just like the ones in the attached photo. The streets are made bright and cheery with colourful window boxes and hanging baskets full of beautiful bright mixed flowers, stunning.Lue lisää

Rhossili, Wales
17. heinäkuuta 2019, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Rhossili Bay has been voted one of the best beaches in the UK. We drove along the Gower, although only a small area, it includes rolling hillsides, craggy clifftops, golden sands a shipwreck or two, whitewashed cottages and the most captivating coastline. The magnificent Three Cliffs Bay, with a trio of triangular crags and sandy coast. Rhossili, a vast west facing beach unfolding beneath a steep, windy headland. Worm's Head sees a spactular end to the headland. To the west of Rhossili is Llangennith probably Wales's best surfing spot. It was interesting to see all signs in Wales to have both English and Welsh lettering, as much a we practiced we have no grasp on any words. For those with some space still empty on their bucket list, a walk along the entire glorious Gower coastline approximately 50 Kms, would be a definite addition.Lue lisää

Ireland Tour, Day 2
22. heinäkuuta 2019, Irlanti ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today we were northbound, pass Drogheda, the scene of the battle of the Boyne in 1690, then through the fertile landscape of the Boyne Valley. We then crossed the border into Northern Ireland, driving past the Mountains of Mourne to Downpatrick, the burial place of Saint Patrick, Ireland's Patron Saint, then onto the city of Belfast.
In the late 20th century Northern Ireland was troubled by conflict, the violence mainly took place with in the boarders of Northern Ireland, at time spilling over into the Republic of Ireland. The conflict beginning in the late 1960's was deemed to have ended 1998. The key issue was the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. Loyalists/unionists who were mostly protestants wanted Northern Ireland to remain within the UK, Irish nationalists/republicans who were mostly Catholic wanted Northern Ireland to leave the UK and join a united Ireland. More than 3500 lives were lost due to this conflict.Lue lisää

MatkaajaA trip down memory lane. Have you noticed the windy lanes and roads? Apparently it's because the roads are so long and the island is so small it's the only way they could fit them in.

Down Cathedral, County Down.

Many relics reside in this medieval Gothic Church which is believed to be the burial site of Saint Patrick. The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity is known as Down Cathedral. It is a place of pilgrimage and prayer. Standing prominently on the Hill of Down, overlooking the ancient and historic town of Downpatrick.

Ireland, Day 3
23. heinäkuuta 2019, Pohjois-Irlanti ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today we headed to the Northern most aspect of Ireland, and thanks to the clear weather were able to see some of the islands of Scotland. At the northern most aspect, the Causeway Coast, there was a small footbridge between two of the landform which no doubt would be somewhat scary on a windy day.
We then visited The Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Years ago volcanic activity created these steplike hexagonal columns. The Giant's Causeway has long been associated with Irish mythology with the story of Fionn the giant. .
We then went to the city of Derry passing once again through Ireland's 50 shades of green. Lush green fields, stone or hedge fencing, fat healthy cattle and numbers of content sheep, picture perfect.
We travelled to Donegal, the ancient town founded by Danish Vikings, and home of the O'Donnell Clan. We drove along Donegal Bay with small fishing ports and beaches. A stop at the town of Drumcliff gave us a chance to see not only the grave site of the famous Irish poet W B Yates but also share time with Angela's kinfolk who are also buried there. A table top mountain provides a glorious backdrop to the cemetery. Our stop for the night was Sligo.Lue lisää
