| I get a giggle out of this one. This is our Studio Headquarters for Kylemore Meadows! Actually, it's the Dan O'Hara cottage at the Irish Cultural Heritage Center near Clifden, County Galway. Set high upon a ridge on one of the Twelve Bens, the cottage has magnificent views of the valley below. And if one is around, you might even be kissed by a donkey! |
| Ashford Castle Cong, Ireland Gardens. A holiday destination, It's worth a trip around Loch Corib, too! |
| Hartshead Pike, near Oldham, Lancashire, England. Airlines use it as a landmark for approach into Manchester! |
| Compo's Cafe in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, England - home of "Last of the Summer Wine" television series, seen in the States on PBS. "Compo Seminite" was played by the late Bill Owen..and this cafe is a favourite local for the cast members. Fabulous fish & chips, too! |

The photo at the right is a view inside the Votive Chapel at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse,
Wisconsin. It shows the massive candle holder in the centre of the chapel. You may purchase a candle for a
