We arrived in Mullingar Saturday afternoon to a very nice hotel with a pub, started with lunch in the pub, then a walk to the church of kings, and a check of the local area. The locals are very friendly there was group of women in the pub yesterday celebrating a 65th birthday printed T/shirts and all, hilarious we sat back and watched them confuse the poor barman with their order for lunch which they changed a few times. Seeing I am reaching that age this year watch out girls I might have got a few ideas 😂😉. The sun rises here at 5.00 am and sets at 10.30 pm I still can’t get used to it, I am usually awake at 5.30 therefore am ready for bed at around 8.00 pm,

Today Sunday we decided to drive to Fore Abbey, by all accounts very good. ( which it was) On the way we stopped at the smallest pub to try to get lunch but they didn’t serve food so we went to the Abbey first then drove further on to Castlepollard for a roast lunch ( Irish don’t serve roast veggies it is always mash which suits me). Ian retired to the bar to watch the tennis game this afternoon what a game.....

Off to Portugal tomorrow to meet up with Sue to start our next adventures ......
