The weather here has been getting colder and the days are now getting shorter. I can't believe it is already mid October. Time is passing by quickly. We are staying in town this weekend, but next weekend we are going to Italy for the bank holiday. It is the last bank holiday until next year. We will fly into Milan and then take the train to Venice, stay there for a few days, and then take the train to Florence. I can't wait!
We took Darcy on her weekend here to Powerscourt - the estate and waterfall. We took the Dart train to Bray and then took a bus from Bray directly to Powerscourt. The entrance fee is a little expensive but we were pretty impressed with the estate. We took a taxi to the waterfall as it would have been a long walk and the roads are not meant for pedestrians.
Here are some pictures of Powerscourt:

Pepperpot Tower - modelled after the owner's pepper pot on his dining table - if only I had that much money |
Killing Hollow??? That wasn't in the brochure! |

Dead jealous of the beautiful Powerscourt photos! It's always raining when I go outside.
