Visiting Ireland: Mount Juliet in County Kilkenny

Ireland Travel Guide - Mount Juliet in County Kilkeny
Autumn has settled into some very pretty colours at the moment. And I feel like it is only starting as the hues in the trees are changing day after day.
Now that we live in Kilkenny, we are only a short drive from Mount Juliet Estate. It is a really beautiful place for a Sunday afternoon walk. There is a lovely range of trees and flowers so it is not only great for a walk but also for some nature photography.     
We went there with a friend last week on a chilly Autumn afternoon after brunch. We were lucky to spot some beautiful Autumn crocuses at the bottom of a tree and a few elderberries that looked like perfect little black beads.
And one of my favourite things to do there after a walk in the cold is to head inside the gorgeous main house and order cream teas while sitting in very comfortable couches and armchairs. Cream tea there consists of a choice of teas by Solaris Tea (I always choose jasmine green tea), a plate with delicious little biscuits and the most wonderful warm scone served with clotted cream and jam. That, my friends, is what I call an autumnal Sunday afternoon well spent!

Blackberry and Cashew Butter Challah Bread Recipe
Since I moved to Kilkenny, I also put early morning walks into my schedule two or three days a week. The days are getting colder but those walks have become really enjoyable with the beautiful Autumn colours settling in. I even noticed lately some incredible peppery smells among the trees. It feels really refreshing and at the moment, elderberries and blackberries can even be spotted here and there in the park at the castle. I have proclaimed my love for blackberries quite a few times on this blog now (see my first recipe with blackberries) and mentioned stories of foraging for them as a child. So, I'll keep with my autumnal love of blackberries and add another delicious recipe with those fragrant fruits: blackberry and cashew butter challah bread.

Japan Travel Guide - Tsumago in Autumn
It has been nearly a year since E. and I were flying over to Japan for our honeymoon. It was October and the perfect timing to see the trees becoming yellow, orange and red with Autumn falling upon this beautiful country.
I have already talked about our time in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara a good while back. Now, let me tell you about our little excursions in the amazing Japanese countryside.
