Several of you know that we spent Christmas with my family in a castle in Ireland. What an incredible experience! So here’s some promised pictures.

Ballyporty Castle, near Corafin, Ireland. We stayed there 9 days with 8 adults and 3 kids under 7. What a blast!

Inside one of the rooms. The only one with a wooden floor. The rest were stone floors. Brrrr. We were grateful for incredibly warm wool blankets and turf fires.

The view from the top of the castle (during a moment of rare sunshine).

We went totally offline. No Internet, no TV, no microwave, in the castle! A restful break. If you want to see even more pictures, head on over to my personal home page.

Hope you had a good break too. Best wishes for great VCs in the new year!
