| Vienna Woods Hotel, Glanmire, Co. Cork; ours 1985 - 1988 |
We lived by the woods with
Once with paths of cobblestone, where
Lords and Ladies strolled.
Summer leisure house, 1756
Lord Barrymore
 |
| Path through the woods (now covered and inaccessible with debris by current owners) |
Our children sat on milk stools
By the fire.
 |
| These were found in muck where a stable once stood. |
We wandered, heads to the sky,
Through the Rock of Cashel
Once called Rock of Patrick.
Nearly 900 years ago.
Watched as tides ebbed and flowed,
Of the Glashaboy River and beneath
Spire of St. Mary's.
Our children made memories
Forever
Shaping their lives.

| Town of Glanmire |
 |
| Our children by a shelter in the woods (Now bulldozed by current owner) |
 |
| Our youngest by a tree, two hundred years old (This and others were removed by current owners) |
 |
| Road leading to Vienna Woods Hotel |
Weddings and love were celebrated
In banquet rooms elegant.
Now it was our hotel, our responsibility.
 |
| A small wedding room in the hotel--now completely re-modeled. |
Blarney supplied stone steps and
A stone to kiss,
A tree before a grand house
Where an elite lives.

| Home of Sir Charles St. John Colthurst, Baronet |
Where are
we now?
Will we go back?
When?
 |
| Now, in 2018, thirty years after we lived there. Fitzgerald Vienna Woods Hotel |
