Europe

Mum has christened it “Zippy” when I pack as all she can hear is zipping, Zippy & George (is that Richard?) were characters from Rainbow.
After Zippy I went for a coffee & to withdraw some cash as we’d stayed an extra night.
Mum was off to her specialist appointment at 2.30pm.
Following the extra long journey when I added stops on Saturday we decided to drive to Kinvara & then have a look around, we couldn’t check in until 4pm.
I turned off the M18 too early & we took a tour of The Burren, formed by a glaciated karst, it is mostly made up if limestone, plus a trip down a closed road leading to a u turn & then the sat nav insisting I do another u turn, she eventually sorted herself out & we arrived in Kinvara. After a wander around & a very late cup of tea with a toasted cheese & balsamic onion toastie for me, yum & piece of chocolate cake for Richard, we stopped at the supermarket & headed to our accommodation. We were greeted by our host & her Staffy, Frankie.
Our internet stopped working & Richard knocked on what we thought was our hosts front door 3 times over the next hour (we’d also had dinner, Irish Stew which we’d frozen the leftovers & brought with us in our cool bag, worked perfectly) I then texted our host & although initially slow she did get it working. Not sure what we’ve done to the TV though, it also needs the internet but didn’t seem to be working even after the internet was back on.
