Postcard Mania

Cork, Ireland

I found this item and brought it to you (syndicated it) using my feed reader of choice.

If it's your item that I have borrowed, I thank you and hope that you appreciate any traffic that I may have sent your way ;-)

Although I've never been (and consequently don't have the Blarney) my sister has and she tells me that this is a fine day out if you're in the area.

Well, until not so long ago I used to classify Ireland in the 'rare countries'...but now, one way or another, I got a number of postcards from there, so I could use them more often here :)

The card shows the Blarney Castle, which is situated 7 km from Cork City. The Castle is famous for its Stone, which has the traditional power of conferring eloquence on all who kiss it. The word "Blarney" has found its way into the English Language and has been described as pleasant talk, intended to deceive without offending. The famous Stone is set in the wall below the battlements, and to kiss it, one has to lean backwards (grasping the iron railing) from the parapet walk.

Yeah, nothing good comes easy ;)

Have a great day and see you soon hopefully!
