  1. We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.

    We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange, Co.Meath* today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.

    We stood inside a Neolithic Chamber that was built 5,200 years ago, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.

    There are no words to explain how that feels - we are merely a dot on the timeline of this earth!

    *for Mark 😉

  6. One of the oldest known “windows”

    Light opening (center of image) above the entrance to the passage at Newgrange.
    For a few days around the winter solstice, a ray of light shines through this opening into the chamber at the end of the passage at sunrise.
