_MG_4075For years I have resisted writing about Ireland because it’s where I go to tune out, turn off, and talk to the sheep.  The thought of anyone else finding out about my secret corner of County Louth makes me shudder.  So imagine my surprise a few weeks ago to find the New York Times travel section calling “my” little medieval town of Carlingford “one of the new Eden’s”!  I guess the cat is now out of the bag; so I might as well share a few images taken by my good friend, the photographer Lyn Hughes, who was privileged not only to be allowed a visit this summer, but also to sample my plum crumble.
