The bus picked everyone up from Kenmare square at three and dropped us off at Nu’s cottage not long after and she was there like the Queen at the gate to greet her guests.
We drank gin and ate delish extra thin pizza freshly baked straight from the oven and talked bollocks until 9pm when the bus returned and everyone hit the lights of Kenmare’s pubs.
I got off the bus early and went back to my Airbnb.
I’m driving back this morning and couldn’t face another late night.
I slept well in my bed
And this morning have just drank my bucket of coffee and ate the last of my scones
It’s been a lovely weekend all told
What a lovely time, with old and new friends. Wonderful memories. Have a safe journey home. xx

ReplyDeleteThat's what I was about to say. He looks like he was photo-bombing.
DeleteIts my one and only don't.look at my double chin face
DeleteThat was a bit of a whirlwind trip! Maybe you could return and spend longer there next time. x
ReplyDeleteYes...now I've realised that the whole thing is painless I am hoping for a more relaxed road trip next year
DeleteGoing "out" to the pub at around 10pm in Ireland takes a bit of getting used to.

ReplyDeleteI think u summed up the day in 9 words
DeleteIt was a larf ,a real tonic
ReplyDeleteOne quick question. Being a Yank I have my coffee in a cup. You have several time mentioned your "bucket" of coffee. What is a "bucket" of coffee? How many oz. or whatever?
ReplyDeleteI usually drink my coffee in a an extra large cup , which is specially made
DeleteYou've done well with the ferry and long drive. All has gone very smoothly and Nu's party sounds outstanding. You've had a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteTick! Tick! ten years ago we drove Dublin to Kenmare, and stayed in a pub in the centre of the town. We were in a hired car - a Lada, and honestly, a WW2 tank would have been better sprung! However, it was a gorgeous place, and well worth the effort of getting there. We were astounded at the difference in the quality of the roads, contrasting those sections with large signs "Built with EU money" and the rest!! Is it still like that?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds wonderful.
