Woke up to a beautiful sunny morning with blue and white cotton wool skies. Wouldn't you know it we were leaving today ? One of our neighbours called rather early at 9.30am (we had a rather late one last night so wasn't best pleased) but what could one do. Had to get up, and after an hour he left. Then another neighbour called so our departure planned for 11am was delayed to 12.15. Finally we got on the road. Made sambos and tea so we would be fed on the way. Stopped in Adare to visit the Black Abbey which have been threatening to visit. Some fabulous stained glass windows and lots of plaques for dead war heroes, Earls of Dunraven (the local lords for some considerable period) Adare Manor is world famous for its golf course, accomodation and location.. Got home by 5pm and the usual unpacking and putting stuff away, washing one, etc. Firstly had to have a cuppa though.
Wasn't looking forward to leaving as had a lovely holiday but will be back in Sept/Oct again so not long to wait to be back.
Tomorrow will be busy shopping, visiting mum, charity shop drop, and cobblers.Then its the Puissance in the RDS at the Dublin Horse Show with OH and DD2. We won the Agha Khan trophy today for the Nations Cup.
Great buzz in Dublin tonight, hopefully the sun will be shining again tomorrow.

Namaste,
