This was the view as I loaded the car for our last day in Northern Ireland.
This is Lyn's new duck.
Our first stop was at Mount Stewart House and gardens. We had a beautiful walk on a sunny morning. No more red squirrels were seen but there were many ducks.
Inside the house it was a fascinating experience enhanced by a National Trust volunteer in every public room. I have raved in the past about how well this sort of thing is done in England and I can only add that it was as well done here.
Only a little further on was Grey Abbey which was, in contrast, completely deserted - and all the more atmospheric for it.
We'd been driving down the eastern side of Strangford Lough and from Portaferry we caught the eponymous car ferry and then drove on to Trim.
We are in a hotel here for our last two nights in Ireland. Across the road is a wacking great castle.
This is from the terrace on our floor. I could only get half the castle into the photo because I am too close.
