The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

So so so interesting!  Amazing the work that went into building it with the tools they had at the time and how long it has stood.

Tara - you must be in Heaven with all the high place to climb on!

Can you tell us something about the greenish (bronze ?) statue?  It doesn't look like it goes with it's surroundings......

I just love the last picture. 

"danger do not climb on the walls" 

and there's Tara underneath the sign ?? classic!! 

lovely pictures of your visit to the castle and the causeway. 

Interesting about the honeycomb effect on the walls. I don't remember seeing that on the castle in Scotland. I wonder if it's the salt water that does that? 

Julia stole my line....Tara under the sign. 

Love old ruins and some amazing views are icing on the cake ....No Tara ....not real cake and icing 

I am really enjoying your Holiday........the scenery and all the ruins are amazing. Tara I think it was nice of Mum and Dad to pick a Holiday spot that was perfect for your love of climbing........

I love all the pictures but the last one stole my heart hihi and put a big smile on my face..

That pic belongs in a frame :-)   and is SO Tara!

 

She is just hysterical.  It is as though she can't walk past anything without climbing on it.

today we were walking down a lane past a house.  There was a grass verge and the home owner had dragged big stones (maybe a cubic foot) onto the verge (every couple of yards) to try and stop people parking on the soft grass. Guess wot? She jumped up on every one as we walked past.

also kerbs, front door steps, low walls, banks, hummocks, rockeries, tree stumps...

@Marlene we think the statue is of St Cuthbert. The monk who Brought Christianity to the island and was later sanctified after they dug up hiscorpse and found it hadn't decayed ( in this chilly ground). It is a modern statue but the style is reminiscent of Norse artwork, chess pieces and so on, of the time (8th century)

Wow gorgeous pictures I am Sooo enjoying your holiday! Love the old castles and monastery, the stone work is amazing! Tara you are sure in your element aren't you sweetie!!
