Is that in Kinsale , looking across towards Charles Fort ?
I stayed in Nordav on your recommendation and the breakfast was superb.


That's outside the Glandore Inn..

I was highly impressed myself, as was herself. :Thumbp2:

Seafood is a healthy food :rolleyes2:


Glandore . I don't know why Kinsale came to mind.
 
The entrance to Glandore Harbour is guarded by two rocky islands, Adam and Eve. The advice to sailors navigating in the harbour is ‘Avoid Adam and Hug Eve’, a lesson first taught, no doubt, by sad experience on Adam’s reefs and shoals.
 
Prize Turnips in Wexico . Good day out in Wells House. €10 for car parking but I did manage to swing a seniors for a tour of the house. There is a good children’s playground and a fairy trail through the woods . Restaurant is good too but I would say in times past they would have served freshly poached Fenian .

not far down the road from me :Thumbp2:, the present owners father ran the place as an organic farm but the son wasn,t as keen on organic but the locals say tractors were often seen in the fields after dark driving around
 
Wasn't there a all Ireland ploughing held on that farm.seem to remember my father talking about the fields getting flooded and water running down the furrows during the match.one of the reasons it was called wells
thats right i,d forgotten about it, around 1976 or so i think it was across the road from the main house on land owned by a neighbour if i,m not doting

You are correct and there were tales of caravans/exhibition units left in the field until the spring as it was too wet to get them out.

I don't remember what the autumn was like , young man , :rolleyes2: , but it was a scorcher of a summer until the end of September ish. 75 was a belter of a summer as well.
 
I don't think too many would want to go back to the 70s/80s again. Ploughing was held in Wexford three times between 73 and 81!!
