The Irish summer has well and truly started! And despite the fact that the rain has set in again, we are still feeling super summery. This past weekend we had the nicest day out and thankfully the sun played the game and stayed high in the sky all day! It actually got up to about 18 degrees. Shocking stuff.
We are very fortunate here in Ireland to have such gorgeous green places to explore, every town has something whether it's a park or the grounds of an estate that you can freely wander to your hearts content. So that's what we did, we live nearby Maynooth University, which has the prettiest campus in all of the land (we're a little biased though). Not only is the entire campus covered in trees and flowers, but it also has some secret gardens and even an apple orchard! We intended to bring along a little picnic, however after picking up some coffees we got distracted by the sheer beauty of the place and decided to chill on the grass for a couple of hours, it was wonderful!
Brace yourself, there are quite a few pictures....
This is the apple orchard hidden at the back of the university! It's all in bloom at the moment and it is just the prettiest place!
This is the oldest native tree in Ireland and it's about 700-800 years old! Cool right?
The campus looks just like Hogwarts and we love that!
Have you been to Maynooth University? Got any suggestions on where to go next?
Until next time,
