Off to Ireland!

catching up... right, so were were we?
... lost friends of our blog. A thousand apologies for the 12 month delay since our last entry. I suppose our time here in Ireland turned into a lifestyle, in contrast to a 'travellling experience'. And as such, the idea of posting blogs seemed to pitter ...
Julie Bryn..Mogan Gran Canary to Kinsale Ireland.
... It was worthwhile trip, as it isn't often a person gets a chance to sail to some of the Atlantic Islands and then back to Ireland. · The learning curve was steep. I would say I was up for the trip and didn't find it too difficult even though it took me ...

Black Pudding, Guns & Cows
Breakfast, it's the best meal of the day; I think so any way. In the small fishing village of Kinsale, I experienced my first traditional Irish breakfast. It doesn't matter where you go; pretty much all Irish breakfasts contain the same foods: fried egg, ...
