First ever visit to Ireland, and we’re told we shouldn’t miss the coast of Co Cork. Good advice! We booked Mairead’s place for the night, and we’re glad we had. It’s a self-contained annex off a proper farmhouse. Cows within a few feet of the door. Views over fields and green, with a view of the wild Atlantic cost in the distance. Totally rural Good for the soul. Comfy bed. Mairead had left a homemade chocolate cookie which was a lovely thought, and very delicious. But I managed only a quarter of it because I’d just had a great fish n chips in Baltimore, the cookie was very rich, and the wife started banging on about my expanding waistline! This was JUST the place we weaned to be staying in for the night. Thank you Mairead.
