Cliffs of Moher

The Irish landscape is now on my fridge. Moher has really gorgeous cliffs. Doubt I'll ever go there but hey, I can see it everyday at home now.

Bhun Raithe? Bun na Raite?

Bunratty Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bhun Raithe, meaning "Castle at the Mouth of the Ratty") is a large tower house in County Clare, Ireland. The name Bunratty, Bun Raite (or possibly, Bun na Raite) in Irish, means the 'bottom' or end of the 'Ratty' river. This river, alongside the castle, flows into the nearby Shannon estuary. From the top of the castle, one can look over to the estuary and the airport.

Thanks to Imran who remembered to get several fridge magnets while he was there.

More Leprechauns!

Here's another leprechaun from Ireland. It's now stuck on the fridge at home. All these Ireland magnets are thanks to my hubby. He was sent to Dublin for work 30th October 2006 and arrivd back at KLIA 5th November . There are various pics of him, if you wanna see or you can read my blog about it, please click here.

The detailing on the magnet is quite good; It is produced by/for Shamrock Gift Co. Izwan also bought me a t-shirt that says "A leprechaun made me do it"; which is so cute. I remember wearing it on the way to Los Angeles last year. This magnet was priced at 1.99 euro.

A Leprechaun

# 3

In Irish mythology, a leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of male faerie said to inhabit the island of Ireland. They are a class of "faerie folk" associated in Irish mythology and folklore, as with all faeries, with the Tuatha Dé Danann and other quasi-historical peoples said to have inhabited Ireland before the arrival of the Celts.

Well, here's a little man in a pot of gold; "Luck of the Irish" it says. Hmm... must be good luck, then. It cost Izwan 1.99 euro.
Leprechauns and other creatures of Irish mythology are often associated with "faerie forts" or "faerie rings" — often the sites of ancient (Celtic or pre-Celtic) earthworks or drumlins.

They usually take the form of old men who enjoy partaking in mischief. Their trade is that of a cobbler or shoemaker. They are said to be very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time. According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the gaze is withdrawn, he vanishes.
