Days 381-387, 28 June - 4 July '15, Emo Court, Altamont Gardens, Chick-fest (8 new chickies!) and Final Days. We can't believe it's our last week in Ireland and we're off to Spain tomorrow. We've discovered a couple of things over the course of the week... Game of Thrones (late adopters that we are) and also Netflix! Bless the one month free trial system. Had an 8 season Foyle's War marathon this week. Excellent show. Now it may well seem we've been planted...

Days 374-380, 21-27 June '15, Chickees! Meet Fluff and Stripe - the first two chicks to be born on our watch. You may recall last week we discussed the "Make Hay While the Sun Shines" phenomenon. Well this week we really understood the concept of "Don't Count your Chickens until they Hatch". We actually had 3 eggs under this little chook and a day or so after Fluff and Stripe hatched, little chook decided egg No. 3 was a no-hoper and kicked it out from the ne...

Day 379, 26 June 2015, Dunmore Cave, Co. Kilkenny. Rumours of us turning into complete hermits after the 4000 km road trip are somewhat exaggerated. We are about 90% hermits - not complete. We took off for a drive to Dunmore Cave today - didn't really know what to expect but decided to use our Heritage Cards and just enjoy. Like Dr Who's Tardis, Dunmore Cave is bigger on the inside. We missed the first part of the guided tour, but with the threat of the next...

Days 366-373, 13-20 June '15, Enjoying life down on the farm-let. We've had the grandest week with all our furry little mates here in Enniscorthy. We feel so popular that all the furbies seem to remember us (and fondly) from our visit at Christmas. Been a really quiet week. It's so quiet here that we are struggling to launch from bed at 8.30 am ish (officially the longest the doggies can cross their legs for if they go to bed at 9-10 pm). You really don't wa...

Day 365, 12 June '15, Cork-Dublin-Enniscorthy - Travel Day! Wow. The 8 day roadtrip has come to an end. From Dublin north to Portrush and then all the way around the coast to the west, down to the south and today we did the final 270km run from Cork to Dublin Airport - A grand total of 4000 kms onto the clock of the Wee Red Beastie. If we were to consider it a 4000km test drive, we'd be mightily impressed - as it accomplished that with less than €200 in fuel ...
