But can't do it now?
I now have a fear of heights that I didn't have as a child. I wouldn't dream of climbing up those steps and putting my head backwards now. lol

It's funny how you say that. I done lots of things as a child that I no longer can do and that is one of them. lol

Yes and ever since then People keep telling me to stop talking? Seriously I have kissed the blarney stone and it was a great experience to have been part of a tradition that has been going on for many many years :)

When i lived in cork as a child i was brought on a school trip to the blanery stone when i was small. That will sadly be my first and last tome on me doing that. I also have a fear of heights.

I've kissed it twice as an adult, but never as a child. I wouldn't dream of bringing my children up there and depend on someone else to hold them out over the edge like that.

I could do with kissing something so maybe I shall go and visit the Blarney stone one of these days. Always meant to go.

I did it at the age of 24! I'm a bit afraid of heights too but it was fine. There are so many people up there that I really don't think there's any danger (unless someone decides to push you down!)

No. However, I am from across the pond. But it is on my to-do list of things to do before my death as well as getting "smashed" with the locals.
What is a good place to visit in Ireland where they wont mind an American drinking them under the table? LOL

My mother kissed it when she was pregnant with me - she didn't know she was pregnant at the time. Go figure.
