My first visit to Mohill (Irish: Maothail, meaning "Soft Ground") in the County of Leitrim, Ireland, the birth place of my parents, was to attend the Blue Grass Festival. I was so excited to be going I didn't even really mind the seven hour fifteen minute flight even though I hate flying. I'm Cheryle "Cheri" an Irish Catholic woman thirty years old, 5'2" 103lbs., blue eyes with long red hair.
Mohill is situated in the Rynn Valley above the Rynn River, is named for St. Manachan who founded a monastery there in 500AD. The town built up around the settlement and ownership of the town passed to the Croftons and the Clements Family who had lands in the area around the town.
The Clements family built Lough Rynn House and Gardens and they were also the owners of a residence in Dublin which is now known as Aras an Uachtarain, the official residence of the President of Ireland. The walled gardens, established in 1859, includes four beautiful gardens, terraced towards Lough Rynn. They have been restored to their former glory and are once again one of the most beautiful sights on the estate.
The town of Mohill plays host to the annual Mohill Agricultural show, which celebrated its 90th year in 2017. There is also a Summer Festival and a Blu Grass Festival held in the town every year.
Turlough O'Carolan, the early Irish Harper, is closely associated with the town and a beautiful statue of the composer and singer takes pride of place. Hyde Street in the town is named after Douglas Hyde, first President of Ireland, whose father and grandfather lived on the street.
I stayed at Lough Rynn Gardens one of the most beautiful places to stay in world. From the time I arrived, time seemed to stand still. There was no hustle and bustle, just peace and relaxation. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to give me an amazing stay. Special thanks to Francis, for a fabulous tour of the grounds and a great narrative along the way. The rooms are superb, as is the Castle itself. And the food is amazing.
I booked a Kayak tour on the beautiful shores of Lough Rynn. The view of the lake gave me a completely unique perspective. I learned about Lough Rynn local wildlife and history from the guide while gliding through its waters.
I visited Saint Patrick's Church which is located on Chapel Lane above the town. Built between 1885- 1890, by local volunteers, a beautiful place I stayed for Mass. I also I visited O'carolans Lounge Β· The Garryowen Β· Corner House Bar Β· McKeons Bar I'm an Irish lass at heart of course I had to drink.
The Festival started on Friday in Planxty Maguire's, Hill St., with the Down & Out Bluegrass Band playing. On Saturday and Sunday the Down and Outs, The Cat's Meow, and JigJam played from 2.00 p.m. onwards in successive sessions in Planxty's; at O'Brien's Tavern, Glebe St.; and at Aras Carolan. Gospel services were held in St Patrick's church on Saturday, and at St Mary's on Sunday.
The Grand Concert was held on Saturday night in Planxty's with the Down & Outs and JigJam both performing - admission was only β¬10. The Festival finale was held on Sunday in O'Brien's, with music by The Cat's Meow.
The best part of my trip though was Fiadh, Fiadh is a her given name. It is Irish in origin, coming from a word meaning "deer", "wildness" but also "respect", It fit her perfectly. She just came up to me on Chapel Street and started a conversation, she was gorgeous five four maybe a little taller then me with much lager breast she had long red hair just like me she is twenty-nine.
Ireland has the highest per capita percentage of redheads in the world -- anywhere from 10 to 30 percent, according to Eupedia, a website that explores European genetics and ancestry. They are almost equally prevalent in Scotland and other pockets of Celtic pride.
Fiadh and I were inseparable that wonderful week I spent in Ireland. We stayed in contact after I returned home and I was very excited when she decided to come visit me in Chicago. I sent a town car to pick her up at the airport the Friday she arrived. Left word with the doorman at my apartment building to let her in.
Friday dragged on I thought it would never end as day dreams of Fiadh filled my head. Finally arriving home to find Fiadh soaking in the hot tub in the gym at my apartment building. I quickly changed and joined her bringing a bottle of
Jameson and two glasses with me.
We soaked and laughed, drinking, talking sitting next to each other. I rubbed her smooth thigh and tickle her feet with my toes. The first kiss, a year in the making was magic, parting my lips allowing her long tongue in. Embracing my legs wrapped around her body has she remove my bathing top and moved her mouth to my breast.
The hot water, Fiadh's soft body and warm mouth combined into a sensory overload of pleasure. After thirty minutes of this foreplay we drive are hot bodies and headed back to my apartment. Falling into my king size bed bodies intertwined in lust and desire.
A great start to the wonderful week ahead with my gorgeous Irish Lass. I awakened still smelling of Fiadh's beautiful scent which reminded me of making love to her last night. Holding her warm body in my arms she was breathing lightly on my breast so gorgeous, my beautiful Irish lass. I didn't want to wake her I just wanted to watch her sleep a little longer.
