Blarney Castle

It is a cold blustery day today. We drove to Blarney and toured the castle. The wind was blowing fierce and was even worse the higher we climbed up the narrow, winding staircase to the top. I was thinking my mother would have a panic attack with how steep and narrow the steps and staircase was!
When we got the top, we saw the gorgeous view of the countryside, and decided it was worth the climb up. Of course we both had our moments of panic as the wind gusts blew us around up top, or we realized how far up we were! Hilarious video was shot in the moment...then the cameras were put away for fear of walking somewhere we shouldn't and falling off the castle.
Below is Blarney House, the castle and grounds and the town of Blarney itself.
