My Creation:

Today my husband, my parents, niece, nephew and I visited Gillighan's World in Co. Sligo. It was a very enjoyable day seeing the fairies despite the very inclement weather, and yes it was the dreaded rain! It poured rain all day and we got soaked even though we all had umberellas. Gilliaghan's World is for all ages and especially for people who believe in fairies. To tell you the truth I wouldnt want to mess with the fairies.

There was miniature villages and delighful fairy habitats nestle in beautiful water and botanical gardens, with a stone tunnel entrance, dolmen and amphitheatre. Enchanted glade, secluded picnic areas, pet village, water cave and spectacular panoramic views from the Fairy Fort. (There is a photo of me at the Fairy Fort making my wish - you had to close your eyes and turn around three times and if you faced Mountain Knoknashee when you opened your eyes your wish would come true.)

I must say I live about 180-200 miles away but will make the trip up! Just one thing puzzles me, were you in the Mary Poppins mood (she had the same magical powers as the fairies)with the brolly or is it just our lovely Irish weather? Excellent photo's despite the weather ;-)

I adore fairies and these are beautiful. I saw some gnomes but were the leprechauns hiding. Thank you for sharing these photos with us.

How simply wonderful - certainly a place I would love to go to- my family think I am daft as a brush as I have a fairy door in my bedroom. I adore fairies and all the lttle folk and I always will - long may the magic continue! I hope your wish comes true too and lovely to see your photo - all of you!
