Bunratty

Just one of the benefits of having a daughter who works as a
Castle Entertainer is that she gets to take her family to a lot of associated tourist attractions for free!

This past Sunday four of us spent quite a few hours at Bunratty Castle & Folk Park. We haven't been there since the young'uns were young'uns and we really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately we didn't have time to sample a few beverages at the local, Durty Nelly's. One never knows who might pop in for a wee dram. (A pal of mine is a landowner thereabouts!) Next time.

  5. A pal of yours might well have been less than a mile or two away fae the castle on the day in question.

    It was to Siobhan herself that I said I thought I could smell the feet of a travelling man so.

    Small world, small pals.

  6. I wouldn't know about the feet of a traveller, but I'm not surprised to hear of a man I know being a mile or two away from the feckin' bar, especially when it's his round! :¬)

  7. I had no choice but to be away fae the bar during your visit. I had some alphabetti soup for my dinner on Sunday night and I've been shi**ing non-stop.

    I think it's given me irritable vowel syndrome.

  10. Go easy on him Pat, his good lady wife nearly left him last night because he is now totally bald.

    He's not bothered, it's hair loss.

  12. "Hey Fatty, that's us done!" said my wife this morning after I rolled in late after a wee game of cards with you and the boys.

    I'm not sure if my wife is leaving me because of my poker addiction

    Or if shes bluffing.
