Derek, I've just had a look at clogerhead on Google Earth. You are lucky to live by the sea, I bet you can get lots of fresh fish and seafood. Exploring Ireland is one of things on my to-do list, if I live that long! Cross-country with horse and wagon would be ideal!
My Mum was Irish, from the far West. It's a lovely, lovely Country with super people,and everybody should take at least one holiday in Ireland. You're a lucky fella Derek.
Thought I'd try some strulch, I've never mulched before & it gets vg reviews. Mr Google says the Telegraph have an offer & £ is better than other places so tried to order. We've ordered quite a few things from them before but get the message “postcode is not in delivery area” & to “please select an address.” It's my address, it's the only one I have, how can I select another? I've just e-mailed them & said that my postcode hasn't changed, have they changed their delivery area?
I told them that I live in the Scottish highlands, not the other side of the world, we even have roads, lorries & trains up here. The lorries having brought our past orders from them.
We do get used to paying extra for deliveries up here from some couriers, but not usually a refusal to deliver!
Mea Culpa, in my last rant I declared there was nothing worth watching, wrong playing with the remote I found a Lewis about to start and I had not seen it (I thought I had seen them all), that was followed by Foyles War so I did enjoy my evening watching, I better say three Hail Mary's and stay off tripe for a month. Jeannie, have you ever tried ordering a pizza delivery from Glasgow, just for fun of course, can you imagine the deliverer on his little bike trying to find you. £7 the pizza £50 delivery.
I watched those, too, Palaisglide, ITV3 being my favourite channel. Bit bored, though, having watched them before. So i tend to agree with your rant.
Highland Jeannie, I think your rant was quite restrained under the circumstances! My sympathies.
Swiss Sue, having toured Ireland some years ago, it was very beautiful. It did rain quite a bit, even more than in Wales, where I live, so taking a brolly would probably be a good idea! I learnt why Ireland is called the Emerald Isle - all that rain makes the grass grow! The people were charming and friendly - except for the guy who tried to pick my husband's pocket in Dublin. Hubby put his hand in his back pocket - and found another hand in there. He gripped a finger tightly but the guy twisted out of his grasp and disappeared into the crowd. We still liked Dublin though - it had a really good atmosphere, relaxed and friendly.
G/G Having been where you could wake up already shaved and not felt a thing you learn to have a wallet that is chained to your belt and you drop it inside the trousers not the pocket, never lost a penny ever. Came in handy when suddenly surrounded by Gypsy women in Spain, all they got was a hanky before the Police fell on them. So do not sow seed in a snowstorm, still waiting patiently and do not carry your cash where it can be nicked.

Aaaahhhhh, that feels better, caalm....
Well, campervan would do as well, Derek. We're outdoor people and hate hotels,etc. And I guess a brolli would be a necessary evil.
