Kelly, thanks Ellen, Yes in construction as well as appearance it was much closer to a beehive hut - until nearly finished when the right-hand wall went from convex to concave and then collapsed. I rebuilt that wall the only way it would work - not curved, but straight. So in the end it's more of a Beehive Oratory, or a bit wonky if yo prefer. Kav, tempting - though I like things that disintegrate too, like hopes and dreams. Colm, coulda schmudda.

Kelly, thanks

That from the night photo. I guess I missed the Gallarus Oratory, but I did note a the resemblance, mentioned in the comments for the other thread, to a beehive hut. That from the night photo.

Three days on and the sun has finally done its damage today as some of it turns to liquid - and then presumably gas. And I was just planning on leaving my house to move in there.

Yes you can go in. I was in it yesterday morning. The opening arch has half collapsed making it tiny so for me to get in I have put one arm in first, then lie on my side and squirm the rest of the way in with the ice hugging me as I pass through the arch. Once inside I can then do what people do when they're inside places. It was just a one-day affair Kav - the photo is two days after.
