Have obviously heard so much about Lismore, Lismore Castle, and of course Blackwater ValleyOpera Festival over the years from my muso/singer friends, but this is my first time to see it, and in such beautiful sunny-south-east weather – it’s even lovelier than anticipated! First day today in situ. A bit exhausted, but so lovely to be back at it again, with fun people, in such a stunning setting.
Husband & Wife!

Tenor far away, in Lismore Castle Gardens…. Thanks Maestro Darren for the pic. 
The extensive Castle Gardens are so lovely, especially in the August sun……. ☀️ 
Castle & church skyline at Lismore is so pretty……. 
Part of the castle gardens. 
Perhaps they were thinking something else when they named their shop…….
