• 💋 the stone & start of WAW

    We set off from Cobh , inland to Blarney Castle, and the famous Blarney Stone. Apparently, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery)!! I was happy with myself, having kissed it 3 times. Only to find Paul kissed it 5 times!!! How greedy!! We then headed to Kinsale, the 'official' start of WAW. Paul was insistent he wanted a guiness and food at the famous Bulmans Bar. So with sat nav on we trot. Only to find it a 30-minute very, very hilly walk and warm walk out of the harbour centre. Arrived hot and sweaty at 4.10 to find they stopped serving at 4pm. We are both rather hangry at this point, so a quick guiness and some photos we head back into town to find food. After a bite to eat, we headed off to Garretstown Campsite for the night🌙. Paul emerged from checking us in a good 25 minutes later, very disgruntled. (But we won't mention that 🤫), Just say the word 'hurling' to him and I am sure he will tell you himself 🤣Read more
