MO7S is the code to the lifestyle here in County Wicklow

Guinness family own this land. The ships had already been taken away.

 

We have seen lots of dogs whilst visiting areas. The best one was when we were in a tea room at Russborough House near Blessingdon and the lady had the dog under her arm whilst making her cuppa. Imagine if all the other 30 patrons had their dogs under their arms and were in the tea rooms. Gero you are so far behind the times!?????

 

 

Sudoku champ........ask him about MO7S?

Paul and I will be a little sad come Friday as it will be time to leave our little cottage here in Knockinarragan, County Wickford. We have enjoyed exploring the countryside around this area. The big decision will be deciding on where to next. The mountains, fields, wild flowers, wee cottages to grand homes, Irish pubs with live local musicians, great local food, lakes, rivers, windy roads, ruins, various monuments to brave men and women, brambles and the different shades of green everywhere you look will only be memories and photos as soon as we turn the key to the door and then hop into our car.

We enjoyed our visit to the Dwyer McAllister cottage named after Michael Dwyer and Sam McAllister which was only about 4k's from our cottage. The cottage is owned by the Government however the local farmer is the main caretaker and opens up the cottage for visitors daily from 2-6pm. If you feel inclined check out the story as Dwyer ended up in Australia. Unfortunately McAllister was killed and this enabled Dwyer to escape.

Friday (FNFC BACK IN GERO)

We have moved onto a small place near Rosslare Harbour, however, we are not catching a ferry from here. Wexford would be the closest city to us and Waterford is nearby as well. Time to discover this part of Ireland tomorrow as we are off to Cullutons for tea.

Then there is Paul who has been trying to work out the code on the roads here. MO7S? Easy isn’t it? Should I tell him? MO7S down you’re moving fast, you’ve got to make the morning last…..
