walking routes that offer a great opportunity to sample Ireland's breathtaking countryside.
Sense of humour...
There's nothing like the Irish sense of humour, wit and play with words. Have a look at the
below examples:
"not backwards in coming forwards" means a person is not shy.
"no flies on him" means a person is not easily deceived.
"she has a tongue that would clip a hedge" - means a person who gossips.
"come for a day and stay for a week" means someone outstaying their welcome.
Just a few facts to ponder over - for a small island we certainly have a lot going for us!
