Blarney with Church Women's Group (LINKS)
Here is the whole group getting ready to walk from the Blarney Woolen Mills to Blarney Castle. L to R: Maraqueta, Edna, Vivienne, Evelyn, Mary, Olive, Gill, Barbara, Clodagh, Rhona, Phyllis).
On Saturday the Links group drove in separate cars to the Blarney Golf Resort. We had 2 wonderful lodges with kitchens, living rooms and 2 br/ba, plus 2 hotel rooms. My car (Olive and Maraqueta) stopped in Ballyvourney for lunch, the
n blazed a trail from the resort to the church which we would attend the next morning - and it was a
good thing we did. The Church of Ireland in Inniscarra was not easy to find - the others have no idea how lucky they were we did the preliminaries! We had a great time exploring the countryside and didn't mind being lost one bit!
Soon everyone arrived at the lodge and we were invited by Gill and Phyllis for pre
-dinner drinks - a great time of chatter and laughing.
We then went to a lovely dinner at our hotel - very nice food and service and more chatting and laughing!
Then back to our lodge for more wine and chatting and a late night! Next morning we had breakfast at the hotel the drove (very easily, the 
trail having been blazed) to the church. We were made very welcome at this beautiful little church - it was a joint service of 3 parishes, including Blarney because they are awaiting the arrival of a new vicar. After church we drove to Blarney for coffee and shopping at the woolen mills and then a short walk to Blarney Castle. A few went to the top but I don't think anyone kissed the stone - noone was in need of its gifts, as we were quite eloquent at all times! We then took a walk through the beautiful grounds. This was the first time I'd been there in weather dry enough for walking, so that was a treat. In fact, we had beautiful weather both days! We ate a late lunch and headed home - a great weekend of fun and getting to know each other better.
