Just caught up with this thread and your travels, Angie,
it's inspired me for our trip to the UK next year as Mark has already been encouraging us to visit! I don't know if we'll convince Otto onto a ferry but Cynthia, Will and I are likely to follow in your footsteps!
cheers

Hi Fermi

I know you will enjoy Ireland and meeting Mark as well was so nice, Otto you have to go on the ferry. 
I hope Aberdeen is on the list, no ferries just a bumpy road to my house.

Angie :)

I have just finished reading this thread - we're considering spending our holidays in Ireland this summer!  ;D
Could you please tell me which gardens to visit?  :-*
We've got a mobile home and about 4-5 weeks time from middle of July on.  :D

Helga. Which area in Ireland are you staying? If you are staying anywhere near the mid-west and south-west area I can give you details of gardens to visit.
In blatant self-promotion, you are welcome to visit mine with over 100 troughs of alpines. www.coolwatergarden.com and there are two very good open gardens nearby.

Wow, super and thanks!! :D
I'm grateful for any advice where to go and what to see (not only gardenwise)! We'll be travelling with our motor home, so there's no need to book anything, or to decide on a route beforehand.
I have already been to the southern and western regions, but that was more than 20 years ago and at Easter - so something totally different.

 Ah, so  you will have  the  "freedom of the road"  :)  - as I know from other friends who have a motor home,  that's a really great way to  travel!

Helga,
I would visit Jimi Blake's garden Huntingbrook, which is near Dublin and also his sister June Blake's garden just a short distance away. Two very different gardens, both very interesting.
In the north, there is Mount Stewart of course, you must not miss that!
