Home Sweet Home with Brigid!

Hey! :)


Yesterday, we visited Kildare town the hometown of St.Brigid :)
We started off watching a video about the history of Kildare! We were in this little shop where you could buy souvenirs and little gifts for people, and lots of paintings and objects showing Brigid's love and care for animals.


Next we walked up to the Church of Ireland! The layout of the church was in the shape of the cross! It was a  really nice and beautiful church and we each got to ring the bell!


The church windows had a different saints in the each stained glass window! It was very interesting to see all the detail that went in each window! :D We went outside where we saw the round tower and St.Brigid's kitchen : no dishwasher and microwave!! SHOCKING :O

Then it was a trip to starbucks! :D Where i treated myself to some Lovely and Warm hot chocolate and an amazing shortbread chocolate biscuit! Mmmm it was gooooood :D

Then we went to visit two of St.Brigids Well! It was sooooo peaceful and relaxing, the sound of the water running and nature at its best! I loved it :) It was really good trip i got time to think to myself and just enjoy the day!

There was  A LOT of WALKING!!

But i actually really enjoyed the trip, i think it was because i was wrapped up and warm for the day and the journey home was me sleeping on the bus :)

St.Brigids was a pretty great woman alright!! :D

CORK! Are you ready for Tich Miller?? :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sooooooooooo excited
.. though i have to say we were EXTREMELY surprised that we went through!! We honestly couldnt believe because the other groups were amazing! :o

I mean the day before the drama we made it up and decided it was our best bet.. WOW

Its a place full of peace and quite and you can just chill and listen to the calm music and the sound of the water and really relax and it gives you a chance to think about whatever you want and think over everything :)

It was a busy day trying to get everything organised and made sure that things went smoothly!! Am really happy with it :)
