Another bloody castle, but I just love them!

As you know I am still grieving for Conne-Simon but I did manage to put this behind me and give the big middle finger to the pouring rain and headed out to Kylemore Abbey Castle.
And yes the Audi got some "air" on the way out and on the way back, I am proud to say.
The story of Kylemore- both Abby and castle is a truly remarkable one. The twists of fate which its occupants experienced from the moments of romance and happiness to sadness and courage have all combined to create a fascinating history spanning 150 years. Kylemore is home to a community of Nuns of the Benedictine Order who came here in 1920 after their Abby in Ypres, Belgium was destroyed in World War one. Settling in Kylemore, the Benedictine Community opened a world renowned boarding school for girls and began restoring the Abby, Gothic Church and Garden to their former glory.
It is a beautiful place, one in which I ventured on my own, in awe of its history and contribution to History.
