Lovely Ireland

Since our last update we have been mainly dry!  This has meant we could clean out Mildred a bit, even vacuum her at one camp.  We even fixed our horn, that stopped working a few days earlier.

Since our last update we have been in Belcoo in Northern Ireland, right on the border a lovely camp where we were the only guests.

Then onwards to Galway Bay to a wee quaint village called Salthill, we were about 4 km from town and as it was dry but windy we decided to walk in for a night on the town.  Along the way there were swimmers in the sea whilst at the same time most people that passed us were rugged up in jackets, hats, scarf and gloves.

We had a great night, although the walk home was longer than the way there, and we visited the famous O’Connor’s Pub.

Today we headed (after a major sleep in) to Killarney.  This town is very pretty, it’s been named the tidiest town in Ireland.  It is Arthur’s Day today, so a big day in Ireland with most pubs offering very cheap pints of Guinness.  We may go back later…

Tomorrow we are driving the Ring of Kerry before heading to Cork for the evening and to see Blarney Castle. 

I’ve just booked our ferry back to Wales on 1 October, so our irish time is running out!

The Irish just love Mildred, we get toots, waves, etc strangers stop us in the street – what can I say – they have great taste.

PS Today we went through Limerick, so I'd thought I'd try my hand at a Limerick (best i not quit my day job )

We are on the road with our Mildred

she is our very much loved kindred

even though she goes slow

we’d rather not blow

a value and have the smell of putrid
