Despite being a Sunday I missed Church ... so we had a leisurely breakfast before heading out to their "local" National trust property -
Ickworth House

Sadly the part of the house where the family "lived" is now an hotel ... this is the extension that was built to entertain ...

And, I suppose I should post these 2 ... in front of the statue of The Fury of Athamas

After we had walked through the rooms, we also enjoyed a walk through part of the grounds ... an area that you could spend ages exploring ...

One of the places I wanted to visit in Ireland was The Giant's Causeway ... amazing as within a few yards either side of it the beaches look fairly "normal". Gives credence to the belief that it was made as a bridge by giants to get between Ireland & Scotland.

I haven't watched "Game of Thrones", but we went to a couple of the filming locations on this day trip. The first was the small village of Carnlough Harbour.

We also stopped, in the pouring rain, to see Dunluce Castle

The final location was that of The Dark Hedges, which was actually planted as a drive to Gracehill House, built in 1775

We also stopped at a couple of other locations ... one was Bushmills Distillery, which is the oldestlicensed distillery in the world, having started in 1608

We also stopped at the look-out over Carrick-a-Rede Bridge (and no way would I have gone over it even if we had been there)

I have actually managed to get a set of icons made.  This is for round 3 of [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo  It is in many ways hard as we are given a theme of "Dark & Light" .... but I find the hard thing is deciding what images/theme to use.  So this set of 20 are a bit of a missmatched set of themes.  However they are all dark/light ... I hope!

Anyway here are my 3 teasers -
