    My favourite place is a bench at the bottom of my parents garden in Wicklow, where you can look down through the trees to the beach....

    Its heaven on a sunny day.

    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.

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

    There is such a rock over the top of Mount Leinster, on the wild side. ( not sure if it's limestone ). I havn't been there in about ten years, but I've had sex with 3 different girls on that rock, different times, I miss that rock.

    Favourite place? The boat we live on in Newport Harbour. Gives me a sense of freedom, in that we can weigh anchor and leave, and it rocks me to sleep at night.

I remember the irish weeks, they were hell and the guy that ranthem was, god sean but everyone called him foxy. Think he passed away now. But i loved the teachers they were hilarious. Remember one of them knocking on my wondow at like 1am they had gotten crab and lobster from the fishermen and wanted to cook it and i had the keys to the kitchen. Sean Og was one of them, bit tall dude with long black hair. They were funny.

    Always happy to come home to my house and my bed.

    If I want company it's a friends batchelor pad in Winter. He has an open fire, a dog, a plasma screen, a piano and he cooks for me. Just sitting there chatting to him makes me happy.

    I love my local park and cafe's. Loving the picture of the park posted by looptheloop We definitely aren't neighbours-don't recognise the place.

    For a holiday Marrakech (in Morocco)

    What a blast from the past hearing Foxy's name!! He was a legend. He chauffered me to my debs!! I was sorry to have missed his funeral. Knockadoon has to be one of my favourite memories and I'd love to go back there again for a visit. Rogha na buachaillì, jumping off the pier, bunk beds, table tennis and draughts....

    I work near the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin and I love sitting there at lunchtime, it's really peaceful :)

    Gougane Barra in West Cork is the most beautiful place I've ever seen, if we had decided on having a tiny wedding we'd have got married there... just heaven!

    A forest or a lake. I'm a big lover of canoeing so if I can lay it on a bank somewhere, head into a forest and then come back to finish the rest of the trip I am totally content.

    Paris. I love Paris so much. :)

    In Ireland, generally anywhere windswept with beach/cliffs/sea makes me happy too.

    Île-de-Bréhat . It's a small Island off the coast of Brittany in France. We used to go there every summer when we were kids with my Dad. We lived a few hours away from it. Always very hot and great cycling routes! And lovely beaches. And food. Just a lovely place! And never too busy. Haven't been there in about 6 years actually...must go sometime soon!

    Also Killarney. Lived here most my life and there is just so much to do...and it's so pretty here! Still love exploring the place climbing mountains and such. Still haven't seen it all!

    On a horse's back, doesn't matter whether I'm just strolling down a back road, or galloping through a field. It's peaceful, and for that hour or so, I can forget everything. Don't get to do it as much as I'd like now, being in the city :(

    My favourite place is with my husband and two children.

    • I love Paris, especially the Science Park there and walking arm in arm down the banks of the river Seine.
    • In Italy I love the Varone waterfall and Florence.
    • In Portugal I love Obidos, The monastery in Alcobaca as it does not look as wonderful on the outside but on the inside it has a wonderful garden and it also has some gorey graves of a tragic king and his mistress, I love the Aquarium in Lisbon and the beautiful university city of Coimbra.
    • I also love the seal sanctuary in Portaferry.

    My favorite place is my grandparent's cabin in the woods. It is on a small lake and it is the most peaceful, relaxing place I can imagine. They have no tv, no telephone and no internet so you just read, swim, hike and hang out with family.
