County # 21 On Ireland Journey


9 Miles Today; Forrest was out early and got back early for he had a dentist appointment at 9am. The weather today was a little damp and foggy. My legs and hips felt tired. I don't know if it's the miles, the weather or old age but Forrest just didn't have it this morning. Now for happier topics. ~Ireland~ and a new County for Forrest to explore. Today Forrest is located at the Kilkenny/Tipperary County Line on R502, eight miles from village of Templemore. County Tipperary, population 149,000 is located within the Province of Munster in the Republic of Ireland. Tipperary, ranked 6th in total area out of 32 counties in Ireland,was one of the first counties to be established in the 13th century. For all government purposed the County Tipperary is divided into North Tipperary (county town: Nenagh) and South Tipperary (county town: Clonmel). Popular surnames are #1 Ryan #2 O'Brien #3 Maher followed by Sullivan, Kennedy, MacCarthy. The lead in song on my playlist fits my blog perfectly. Until tomorrow, God Bless Walk Forrest Walk
