What's your favourite part of Ireland?

(also, unrelated question: any particular small plants - like cherry tomatoes - that can grow relatively easily in flats in this climate?)

Have a great day!

I'm fond of Co. Wicklow, where @dduane and I have lived in various places for almost 40 years.

For other reasons, I'd vote for Co. Down near Newcastle, where I spent many happy summer holidays when I was a lot younger than I am now.

I still remember the long curve of beach below the dunes, and the mountains in the distance, and the green expanse of Tollymore Forest Park in the shadow of those mountains.

It didn't take much imagination, and I've always had plenty, for the Mournes to become Misty, and Tollymore Forest to become Old, Fangorn or Mirkwood...

...and - many years later - that sweep of beach, or a fantasy version of it, was where the ships slid to shore as my novel "Greylady" began.

Also this, because some special memories have their own special time and place. :->

Unrelated answer - we once grew a fine crop of Habanero chillis on seed-trays in the kitchen window, though that seems to have been a fluke because we haven't managed to repeat the trick since.
