Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip). -

Sources of Plants For, and Distribution of Plants From, the Royal Dublin Society’S Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, 1795–1879: an Annotated Checklist
NORTHERN IRELAND HERITAGE GARDENS TRUST OCCASIONAL PAPER, No. 7 (2016) Sources of plants for, and distribution of plants from, the Royal Dublin Society’s Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, 1795–1879: an annotated checklist E. Charles Nelson In The brightest jewel: a history of the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin (Nelson & McCracken 1987), we accounted briefly for the many sources of plants grown in the Gardens throughout its history. Manuscript registers of plants (including seeds and other propagules) donated to [●], and those distributed from [✧], the Gardens survive especially for the decades following the appointment of Ninian Niven as Curator in 1834. Niven seems to have been the first to make a continuous record of donated and distributed plants – for the period before 1834 records are scattered, scanty and almost certainly very incomplete. In this checklist, the records for Niven’s curatorship (1834–1838) have been combined with those sparse records that have been recovered for the previous three decades, as well as those for David Moore’s curatorship (1838–1879). Moore, like Niven, seems to have taken personal responsibility for keeping a register of donations to and from the Gardens. In terms of the names of the plants, the manuscript registers for the pre-1880 years provide disappointingly little detail. The full names of the plants received or shared were rarely recorded – in the following checklist fewer than 130 species' names are included (and some of these have been inferred from the vernacular names employed), a ratio of one plant name for every seven donors/recipients. In short, the register of donations cannot account for the thousands of plants that were certainly cultivated in the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens between its formation in 1795 and the death of David Moore in June 1879. -

Irland Zählt Zu Den Schönsten Reisezielen Europas
Irland zählt zu den schönsten Reisezielen Europas. Scheinbar immergrüne Landschaften wechseln sich mit den kargen Felsformationen im BurrenGebiet und der reizvollen ConnemaraRegion ab. Die Rei Irland se führt auch immer wieder an den „Wild Atlantic Way“ und damit zu den spektakulärsten Küstenab schnitten des Landes: dem Ring of Kerry, den Cliffs of Moher und dem Giant´s Causeway. Die „Grüne Wiesen, Klippen, Pints und Kreuze: Insel“ ist gleichermaßen ein Hort der Kultur. Ein „Mile failte“ auf der Grünen Insel langes keltischchristliches Erbe prägte Land und Leute und spiegelt sich in zahllosen, jahrhunderte alten Ausgrabungen, Kirchen und Klosterruinen im ganzen Land wider. Ein besonderer Höhepunkt der Reise ist außerdem der Besuch des Titanic Museums in Belfast, in dem Sie nicht nur mehr über das wohl bekannteste Schiff der Welt, sondern auch über die Menschen und das Leben in dieser Zeit, erfahren! Highlights Reizvolle Städte Belfast, Galway und Cork Unterwegs am Wild Atlantic Way: Irlands schönste Küsten Ulster: Facettenreiches Nordirland Rock of Cashel Irland 12 Tag 4 Letterkenny – Sligo – Connemara – Galway Teils der Strecke des „Wild Atlantic Ways“ folgend, führt unsere Rei se durch Donegal, den wildromantischen Nordwesten Irlands. Über Sligo gelangen wir zum Küstenort Westport an der Clew Bay. Hier ragt der 753 m hohe Croagh Patrick, der „heilige Berg Irlands“, un vermittelt und weithin sichtbar aus dem Küstenvorland auf. Die Fahrt durch die Region Connemara zeigt uns eine kontrastreiche und ur sprünglich anmutende Landschaft, die von Seen, Mooren, Felsen, tief eingeschnittenen Buchten und kahlen Bergkegeln geprägt wird. In weiten Teilen nur sehr dünn besiedelt, wirkt die Connemara bis weilen wie ein mystisches Naturparadies. -
