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.

In early January 1740, #Ireland was gripped by the "Great Frost." Rivers like the #Liffey and #Shannon froze solid, and the #Boyne was crossed on foot. This extreme weather began a period of profound hardship known as the "Year of the Slaughter." While a difficult era, it remains a major milestone in Irish climatology. Explore this freezing winter and its impact on Vicipéid.

The boys had a blast at Boyne Mountain Resort in Northern Michigan. Lots of snowboarding and good food.

Thank you Blue Green Vacations. Even though we didn't buy into the program you still treated us with respect and great hospitality. Your staff is to be commended.

Loads of rain, thus a nice little stream in the woods of Cotton Mills, close to the River #Boyne

„Der Junge im gestreiften Pyjama“ John Boyne

In diesem Buch geht es um die Freundschaft eines neunjährigen Jungen zu einem anderen anderen Jungen, den er im Laufe der Geschichte kennenlernt und der einen eigenartigen gestreiften Pyjama trägt und doch geht es um so viel mehr.

Geschrieben ist das Buch aus der Sicht des Neunjährigen, aber geschrieben ist es für Leserïnnen jeden Alters.

Ein Buch, das einen bewegt zurücklässt.
