Today we travelled north of Dublin to County Louth. This is where Yvonne's mum grew up and where much of her family still live. It was an absolutely jam-packed day. We visited Oldbridge Estate, built on the site of the Battle of the Boyne, the largest battle in Ireland's history. Where King William III defeated and his father - in law, King James II, on 1 July 1690. We also met quite a few of Yvonne's relatives, who were lovely and kept us well fed and entertained. We eavesdropped on some singing monks, which was pretty cool. And we even walked through a hedge maze. But the hi-light for me was Monasterboice. This was an amazing graveyard where quite a few of Yvonne's family, on her mother's side, are actually buried. It was simply beautiful. A truly peaceful place.
