Hi there Valentine. I wanted to eat so badly yesterday but this challenge kept me 100% so the first order of business is to say THANKS. No sign of rain yet. Its a sunny day again today with temps expected to hit 20c. So I have my water to hand and will be 100% today. Yay.
I live just outside Dublin County, in the countryside. Ive been around the UK quite a bit cos ALL (yes ALL) my aunts and uncles emigrated there so I have no cousins in Ireland but lots in the UK (London and North East). From my (very limited) travels I can say that the east of Ireland is a very like cheshire or if you've been to Alton Towers I can say that there are lots of bits a lot like the land surrounding Alton Park. The west coast is more like the peak district, bleak, no hedges but stone walls. ITs pretty nice here. Not half as populated as the UK and when we build motorways we leave the views open for drivers to look around (I hate that in the UK the motorways are all tree lined so you cant see what the countryside looks like - I keep having to come off the motorways to see). If you are looking for a trip to Ireland I can recommend the comedy festival in Kilkenny at the beginning of June. Its called "the Cat Laughs" festival. I think Kilkenny is lovely - thats where the Irish go while the tourists head for Galway and Killarney in Kerry. Can't recommend anything higher. Met my husband there!
Keep going. You are so close to the end. Run towards it.
Belle
