Killruddery Gardens display loads of statues in different spots. For aesthetic purposes, they really made the whole place very interesting. Though it could have been more interesting if there's some notes about certain piece. Nevertheless, my tour of the gardens got more pleasing to the eyes because of these pieces in every corner.

It's very common nowadays to see a person or group perfoming on street. Some of them sing and play instruments. I've seen different people with their instruments. Sometimes  those instruments looks very nice and really prestine like the  clarinets at guitar center .  You can truly feel the passion of the performer in every note. People who performs on the streets do it for different purposes. First is to promote their album, second is to showcase their talents in exchange for few coins. And third to solicit money for charity.

Inside the vicinity of Killruddery House and Gardens, the real catch, the French Classical Gardens. A French garden named Bonet designed the fine gardens in 1680s. He was the same gardener who worked at Versailles in France. View of The Killruddery House from the backyard 

During non-busy days, hubby and I love to go to bar or some restaurant to enjoy few drinks and to listen to very good live music. We are so amazed with the great performers. Not only they can sing well but also they can play their instruments brilliantly. I noticed that performers used certain tools to make their instrument can be heard well and perfectly. I wonder if performers use tools like golden cello mad professor  to make their instruments sound so perfect. 

Killruddery House is located just south of Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. It is very near to the Little Sugar Loaf Mountain in Bray. This very great place was rebuilt in 1651 since the original house was burned six years earlier. The 2nd Earl of Meath built the house and it has been under the family for years.  Killruddery House

If you already have a skateboard and some great skating shoes, you may not think that you have any use for a skateboard shop. Of course, it’s nice to stay on top of the trends, and who doesn’t want to add to their skateboard collection? Still, too many skaters don’t take advantage of the many resources available at their local Atlanta skateboard shop. If you don’t frequent it often enough, you will miss out on the many deals, potential new friends, and information that could be very helpful to you about skating.

England is a very lovely country filled with amazing structures. In London alone, different spots captured the hearts of the tourists. I for one fell in-love with the famous Tower Bridge. You probably heard about it in a nursery rhyme, "London Bridge is Falling Down". This symbol of Victorian London was completed in 1894. It consists of two Gothic towers which basically holds the mechanism to raise the roadway. In doing so, large ships are then permitted to pass through between the towers.  Tower Bridge at daytime

It is quite possible that you thought there would be more time to ride your Triumph in Charlottesville. However with the country in the middle of a deep freeze, it is time to put that motorcycle into storage until the next season. Unfortunately, you may not be equipped to store your motorcycle out of the elements. For those cases, you will want to find a full-service company that can help you get the most out of your motorcycle.

Hubby and I didn't get chance to go out of the country last year. But we were blessed to see different beautiful places around Ireland. This 2014, we hope to visit other counties of Ireland and if God will permit some places outside the country.  So many great things are sure to come this year. I can even see a very tight schedule for me and my husband. But as always, we can find time to make room for short trips here and there. Traveling is such an amazing way to unwind and enjoy what we've worked so hard for.  Places we hope to visit this 2014 Portrush , Northern Ireland Ring of Kerry , Republic of Ireland Re-visiting various places around Ireland Palawan, Philippines Might be re-visiting Boracay, Philippines Spain Switzerland Singapore Hongkong As I said, so many things will happen this year. I am not sure how can we visit all these places. We must monitor our time religiously. But I really hope that we can push the Switzerland trip, not to buy  a ra

When there's nothing much to do at home and there's no scheduled trip somewhere, our feet will only lead us to three spots; city centre, park or shopping centre. Strolling on the busy streets of Dublin is pretty cool as different shops have interesting displays on their windows. While roaming around the park, allows me to appreciate nature even more. I know, shopping centre is not a good idea when you don't want to hurt your pocket. But window shopping won't hurt either.  Just want to share with you few things we came across during our recent city trips.
