Craftsman, Newgrange, the Hill of Tara


On our way to Newgrange we stopped at the home of a local craftsman. He definitely had the gift of the gab as we were taken on a tour of his workshop and got to see not only his woodcarving but also his hand made skin boats. There were fantastic functioning replicas of old school boats.
We proceeded to the 5,000 year old Newgrange. The inner chamber was engineered so that during the Winter Solstace for a few minutes at sunrise the sun lights up the room.
Our last visit was to the hill of Tara, home to the original kings of Ireland.

Hmm, I bottled the baby celebratory mead this Sunday, its ready to drink but the baby is not ready to come out so we can't drink it yet. But wait boys, wait; a sip of this will give you a wild honey bee buzz as you fly away on your journey through the orange groves happily sipping the sweetest of nectars. I'll reserve some for the tales of the irishQ!

The bounty and bouquet that best blends the brash and bold beautifications of bottled baby celebratory mead is best brought before bands of brothers.
