Sometimes you have to break the rules to have fun
... but we all got to see something worth staying up for; and when he fell asleep on the way to Kells Priory, I decided to let Alex go off on his own while I hung back with the sleeping baby.
Our full day in Kilkenny was pretty easy-going. We started the day seeing Kilkenny Castle, which, to be honest was a bit of a let-down, as it has been substantially refurbished and modernized. Maybe it is because I never imagined ...
