If you ever want a quick break, no fuss, relaxed and something to see, do and buy...along with delicious food...can't vouch for the weather, even though the sun shone mostly for us
Bunratty is the place to go.
We stayed with Paula and she made us right at home, the FIL thought he had died and gone to heaven as it turned out it is also a working farm, dairy farm at that with prize bulls no less!
So FIl was kept happy having a look around and recalling the old days when he had his own dairy farm...
Paula is a Sinead O'Connor look a like, younger version and she assured me no relation!
We were spoilt by Paula and after all the running around I have been doing, it was nice...she took me in hand the first night and insisted I go out down to Gallagher's restaurant for a bowl of chowder with husband and FIL. I did what I was told for a change and I am glad I took her advice for it was just what I needed. Barry the manager had managed to make room for us in this very busy establishment and treated us like VIP's...It is just one of those places that helps you forget how tired you are as the place was a buzz with people from all around the world. Drinking Guinness and eating the most delicious sea food, one plate of food looked even better than the last if that were possible.
Paula managed also on short notice to use her pull to get us a table for the next night for our celebration of meeting with cousins and toasting FIL's 85th birthday...to be continued
