Today we booked our flights to Ireland; that green and pleasant land just West of Fishguard.
I have to meet one of my main customers, for the first time in 8 years, and have decided to make a weekend of it. The good thing is that we're going to Limerick and not Dublin. It is also the weekend that Wales play Ireland in the 6 Nations - also sandwiched between 2 wedding weekends.
We have been told to make sure drive up the coast to visit Galway and see Galway Bay (not sing it). As the flights are early morning we've decided to return on the Monday morning. Hopefully this will give us an opportunity to discover other parts of Western Ireland. I'd love to see Cork and Cobh.
Ireland is a lot like Swansea - wet & windy. However it is the home of Guinness, Murphys and Beamish - something that Swansea has but not of the same quality. It is also the home of diddly diddly music, Enya and Clannad - 2 out of 3 I can stomach.... The people in Ireland are also far more friendly - have you met Swansea Wibbloggers????
