Wow what a comprehensive tour. You really did some good planning in advance. I'm bad at that, which is a shame because the times when I've made the effort to research and plan for trips, I have a much better time. But actually I've found the perfect solution - going on holiday with my boyfriend, who is research king. Then all I have to do is follow him around and wield the camera. Winner!
Liam looks surprisingly similar to that statue guy. Is there any Irish blood in the family? Or maybe it's just their shared hairstyle that's making me think that.
I've been planning a story set in Ireland and this post has given me some more ideas. Thanks for that! (I will put you in the acknowledgements ;)
