powerscourt

on a much needed afternoon off, I was rescued and whisked away in Paddy's silver carriage to beautiful Powerscourt for some food (all of the food in the world...) some lovely Reisling (yum) and lots of fits and giggles. It was a wonderful respite after a chaotic, and slightly nauseating week.
With every intention of doing the hour long walk of the gardens, and intent on finding a spooky forest, we set off. But like crows, we were easily distracted, and instead found the brightest tree in the Japanese garden and set upon our Reisling like pirates. It was a perfect day (until I tried to drive, but that's for another day...)
some simple truths...
1. relaxing is SO relaxing!
2. hugging a tree actually does do something wonderful for all of the parties involved...
3. Jumping over a bench isn't always the best plan
