Today I’m joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday……please take a look to see what the other participants have in store for you.
I’m continuing my photos and post from Monday on the Grey Abbey…..you can see the first post here if you missed it.
Several of these photos were taken from the internet but most of them were taken by me on our visit to the Grey Abbey in Northern Ireland.
I usually try to photograph some of the signs as they help me remember all the dates and other info about the places we’re visiting.
Because I’m interested in history and family ancestry, these old grave yards really are very intriguing to me.
Some of the ancient grave markers in this old cemetery….these grave stones are not the oldest in this cemetery….if I remember right, some of them that were still readable were from the 1500’s.
Thanks for stopping by to visit…..please leave a comment to let me know you were here.

I really enjoyed this post and I find old graveyards fascinating as well. I can't believe etchings from the 1500s are still readable - just amazing.
Wow, absolutely awesome picture! It has been fun visiting Ireland with you!
OMG Lenore! What a stunning building!
I love places like that, I wish I could visit Ireland one day!

Hi sweet lady...

Well my dear, what a blessing to have traveled to Ireland! Ireland is still on my list of places to visit! I've been to several countries in Europe but not Ireland! It looks fabulous and the Grey Abbey is simply spectacular!!! Ohh my...can you imagine...touching the walls of a building that was errected in the 1100's? I always stand in awe of that fact!!! That's how I felt while we were in Europe...to see and touch something sooo old..it's mind boggling!!! Loved all of your grand photos, my friend!!! They just confirm my desire to go to Ireland!!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari @Happy To Design
