HERE’S a selection of pictures from my journey today to show you just how beautiful Ireland really is.
This collection was snapped near the village of Glendalough, which is a 90-minute drive south from Dublin, at the place where St Kevin established his monastic settlement back in the 600s.
It occurred to me, as I was walking around the ruins of the colony, that if Kevin Rudd was Kevin Oh-Seven then the saint was Kevin Seven.
And it seems the two Kevies have a few things in common.
Both locked themselves away for days at a time - St Kevin to pray in a cave high above a lake and K Rudd in his office in Parliament House to formulate policy and legislation without consulting his comrades.
St Kevin wasn't keen on women, and there's a story that he pushed a girl down a hill when she came to visit him in his cave, and we all know about the trouble Ruddly had with those RAAF flight attendants on the VIP flight.
