Light, weather and magic

The Republic of Ireland borders in the north the Northern Ireland that is part of the United Kingdom, in the east the Irish Sea and in the south and the west the Atlantic Ocean. Although Ireland is situated in the west of Europe and has stormy coasts it is characterised by a mild climate. The ‘Gulf Stream’ also ensures mild temperatures during the winter and this provides for the lush green of the plains and hills throughout the year. However, the weather can be unsettled. A heavy shower is usually quickly followed blue skies and warm sunshine. The light, weather, vegetation and the often scenic coasts create a peculiar magic one can hardly evade. A holiday apartment or house in Ireland provides for an enchanting vacation.
