The Mountains of Mourne

This weekend I headed north, north of the border, to visit the apple festival at Richill near Armagh. The area is famous for its apple growing and especially ‘Bramleys’. As it turned out, I didn’t spend as much time there as expected (more of that later) so I spent the time exploring the nearby Mountains of Mourne. When I think about how wet and miserable it was on Friday, and still drizzly yesterday morning it was amazing how those clouds dissolved and I had as good a view of the mountains as you could wish!

These two are Carlingford Lough – more on all this when I get the pics sorted.

      more pics to come tomorrow. I will report on the apple festival soon. Armagh is famous for Bramleys – i guess you were cooking those! I can hardly believe that having spent much of the week picking apples here I bought some there! more to eat!

    I used to get taken on walks in the Mountains of Mourne as a kid when visiting my grandparents. Thanks for the happy reminder.
