In Gort, County Galway, not far from where I live, sits Thoor Ballylee — a Norman tower purchased by WB Yeats to refurbish into a family home. The tower was built in the 15th century by the de Burgo (Burke) family but became part of the Coole Estate belonging to Yeats’ dear friend and patron, Lady Augusta Gregory, from whom he purchased the tower in 1916/17. This is my painting in miniature of Thoor Ballylee. And the photo I used for reference (via Wikipedia)

Nicely done Meg. I’ve just been looking at some pictures of the interior – too many steps for me!

Thanks, Peter! I can’t imagine raising children in a tower but the kids must’ve thought it was great fun!
