    When it is warm, or at least dry.
    I go lie on a huge limestone rock in the middle of the bog.
    It is worn smooth and is so comfortable.
    I hole up there with a book, and pretend time doesn't exist.

    That sounds lovely. I bet you werent out there much this summer.

    Mine is a particular beach/cove in Kerry where I spent a lot of time when I was a child. I love the water and the boats bobbing up and down and the rocks and the smell and sound of the sea.

    have 2 places,

    one is in my partners arms alone and watching water flow by on the river.

    but one of my favourite places is where i can be free alone and in a completely different word, i love when i am up flying

    On my Dad's farm at home ever since I was a little person I've gone to a little hill overlooking a river and a pond next to a forestry. Always used to bring my doggies up there and look at the tadpoles when I was small :) Still love it now. Could lie there all day listening to all the different sounds.

    I wish I was there now :(

    Yeah I'm a big sea lover too. I've always wanted to live by the sea and my apartment overlooks it now so happy days. Could spend all day looking out at it. So relaxing.

    I used to love the old park that's in the town near me but then half the teenagers in the town decided to make it their underage drinking lair and ruined the place :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,288 ✭✭✭pow wow


    The beach by Lissadell House in Sligo or Barley Lake in Cork.

    Generally anywhere that I'm assured peace and quiet and some nice scenery works for me!

    The beach beside my house at home is amazing.

    Very fond of being in my bed. Alone is grand too, anything else is a bonus :pac:

    Also for places, I love Edinburgh and Dubrovnik.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 328 ✭✭Fletch123


    I love bed.

    I love being on top of Killiney Hill looking out across the bay and then across the city.

    The Burren.

    Cong Abbey.

    Florence.

    Far too many places I love being!

    I have 3:

    1) My bed (futons are great)
    2) Loloata, an island off PNG (www.loloata.com). We used to go there when I was a kid, running around, getting sunburnt, playing in the sea and making friends. A child's paradise. Last time I was there was 16 years ago :(
    3) Paris - just love it.

    Oh and I forgot New York, I adore New York.

    On the beach close to my home with the dog, no matter what the weather- pure bliss!

    And of course bed- big bonus if the boyfriend is there too!

    I love London in the winter. All the parks and the vibe, the beautiful architecture; House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Picadilly.

    Oh golly, this thread reminds me of a really embarressing french class last year, we were talking about places we've been, and then my teacher (scary scary little woman) pounced on me and SCREAMED " Where's your favourite place??" (in french)......


    I sat stammering for what felt like hours, and then mumbled "une montagne", to shrieks of laughter from my classmates....:o


    The rest of the day was filled with jokes about Mount Leinster and its apparent hidey-holes....

    So many times in Australia I would stop and stand still and (sadly) say to myself, remember how happy you are now. I miss it everyday and I'm back three years!

    On my summer hols in Turkey this year on a boat, I wanted to never leave!

  • Moderators Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭ChewChew


    hhmm. When looking for ''me'' time I like to pop along to have a chat with my Dad.

    other than that, my home i the best place. I adore being home wether its with family, friends or just on my own!

    I have a couple, in Dublin it's Howth Head, right up the top out on the edge, followed closely followed by the Iveagh Gardens and the gardens in Dublin Castle

    In Ireland, it's the beach at Dooey, Donegal, no matter what the weather is like.

    Outside Ireland, it's a toss up between Hoi An in Vietnam and Ko Phi Phi in Thailand
