We visited Mount Congreve Gardens during our transit from Kilkenny to Waterford. The gardens would only be open for this one day while we were nearby in Waterford so it would be today or never. The gardens consist of around seventy acres of intensively planted woodland and a four acre walled garden. The entire collection consists of over three thousand different trees and shrubs, more than two thousand Rhododendrons, six hundred Camellias, three hundred Acer cultivars, six hundred conifers, two hundred and fifty climbers and fifteen hundred herbaceous plants.
Unfortunatley I was succumbing to my usual round of mid-trip sickness and was not feeling particularly like walking among the spring blossoms.
When we arrived in Waterford I rested on the bed while Chris explored the town and went in search of a chemist. She returned several hours later with happy snaps of the water front and some medicine for me.
Oh no, I hope you feel better soon Greg! No one likes being sick while on holiday!! Stay healthy and safe, both of you!

Gawd. The dreaded lurgi! Still, a wee visit to any local pub will cheer you up. Did you get to Kilkenny Castle by chance? They sure know how to do castles!
