Burren Field Trip
4 members of the Genesis group took a field trip to the Burren, Co. Clare on Sunday 4th September. The 5th member (Ann) unfortunately couldn't make the trip.
We had a great day back at the Burren - luckily we missed most of the showers, apart from our last stop of the day where we got soaked!
Lots of photographs were taken as research for our next group project which is going to be a group quilt, to enter into next year's Festival of Quilts competition.
We visited holy wells, portal and wedge Tombs, ancient churches and abbeys etc. so covered a lot of topics.
And also passed a very interesting garden near Carron.
