Dunlough, "Three Castle Head" here in West Cork. It's hard to photograph. The wall and towers protect the end of a headland with giant cliffs on either side. There's also a lake. Early, experimental dry stone job by Irish people in Norman times. #Ireland #Castle #Medieval #Gaelic #Norman #History
A wide image of the site. We can see three crumbling stone towers dotted along a curtain wall. The grassy, stony landscape rises to a high ridge behind them.One of the towers along the wall silhouetted against the sky, viewed from below and to the left. It is squat and boxy, the upper half of its front caved in. It straddles a grassy rise, the crumbling curtain wall extending from either side.Here we see the same boxy tower from the side, and another narrower tower peeking up from behind the hillside beyond. Beyond that, we can see the lake and its grassy shores. On the section of the wall right beside us we can see flowers growing from between the large stones.A view from one side of the headland down to the ocean. It is a massive drop down to jagged rocks. A mossy cliff rises up out of sight to the left.

For years I've told people our family was so big, our christmas turkey had to be cooked by nuns. In reality, the nuns replaced that turkey with one the size of a hatchback. I swear one year it came stuffed with a cooked ham. Again, for all these stories and many, many more - hit mammybook.com
 Some things about having such a large family are stranger than 
people even think to suggest. I remember standing with my 
father in the kitchen of Nazareth House convent, waiting on 
them to deliver the truly gigantic turkey they cooked for us 
every Christmas. Officially, they were cooking the self- same 
large turkey we had brought over, since our own oven was too 
small to cook something big enough to feed the entire clan. 
But, in practice, they gave us a brand- new, much larger turkey, 
bearing little resemblance to our own. The turkey we were...handed by Sister Angela, which had gone in the size of a ruck
sack, was now the size of a Fiat 500, resplendent in garnish and 
trimmings. It was the kind of thing you could imagine being 
taken out of the oven by a forklift, rather than a kindly nun, 
but that’s underestimating Sister Angela, a lovely, burly woman 
from the west of Ireland who had a smile that could melt glass 
and forearms that bent steel. She was effectively Popeye in a 
habit, and seemed to enjoy nothing on Earth more than pre
paring us a turkey that, once eaten, we could happily strip to 
the bones and convert into a back bedroom.

 This subterfuge was, of course, never directly acknowledged.
