A Corking day

Image
Up at 0630, chatted to Kevin over breakfast after he'd returned from his spin class at the gym, said our goodbyes with heartfelt thanks and headed off by 0830. 2 hr drive to Cork slightly marred by mistake at bottom of M8 - it does not become the N8! Googlemaps got us back on route and we went to the Park & Ride - L's bright idea to avoid city centre parking stress. €5 for parking and return bus for 2 of us, pleased with that. We hit the English Market first, and have never seen such displays of meat and fish, we think it even beat Bury market. We had a coffee and resisted the cakes, strolled in the city centre, Saint Patrick's street, and climbed onto the City Tour bus. After a cold, damp start the sun came out v hot.

This morning the cloud was back down with a vengeance, can hardly see beyond the campsite. We exited Valentia via the small ferry and continued along the Ring which frankly isn't that scenic on the sea side; maybe the hills/mountains are good but we can't see them. We diverted to Killarney to find a pharmacy open on a Sunday, to get insect repellent- we are starting to get bitten. Killa...

Weymouth/Dorchester day

Image
Have really enjoyed using one site as a Base for 4 days. Its worked well. To Wyke Regis this morning via the pretty Osmington route. Spent 2 hours with Ellen & Bill who I hadn't seen for over 50 years. Mum had written faithfully every Christmas. We shared many happy memories, it was quite special. They had a pic from 1968 in bar of boat they worked for 2 years in Pacific. Chesil beach car park for sandwich lunch in our mobile beach hut. Dorchester to meet up with Beth, a poet friend of L's. Easy drive home, unpacked and drained the van, all in time for dinner.
