Vibrant Ireland<\/a><\/strong> is one of my favourite travel blogs that shares tips and tales of what to see, do, eat and special places to visit in Ireland, London, Norway and beyond<\/strong>. I was really pleased to write a guest post<\/strong> for Susan, author of Vibrant Ireland<\/strong> about an overnight stay Mr G and I spent at The Waterside Guesthouse in Graigenamanagh, Co Kilkenny<\/a> which can be found here<\/strong> if you’d like to find out more<\/a>. The post is\u00a0more than just a diary of a night away<\/strong> in a riverside village. It’s a reflection on how rural villages are surviving under changing economic and social conditions. Do check it out if you have a minute please. One of the unexpected highlights of our weekend was the walk along the tow path of the River Barrow<\/a> which was full of beautiful wildflowers. I’ve shared some of the images below which you can click for a slide show.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the most beautiful things we experience aren’t chosen or placed, they’re quietly existing around us; we have to slow down, open our eyes and see.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
