Off
early to the 17th century mansion on 800 acres at Killruddery House,
for a farmer’s market and a tour of the gardens and house, as recommended by
our hosts.
Fourteen
or fifteen generations of Earls of something er other, have lived in the mansion, set on 800 acres of
gardens. The current Lord and Lady live there with their four children and
their elderly parents. I’m not sure why you’d bother opening it up to the great
unwashed at €10 a pop. Wouldn’t pay the wine bill.
It
was a stunning day and we did the house and garden tour. Got the senior’s
discount as well. Then shared a gigantic roast chicken roll from the farmers
market set up in the old stables, then headed back home.
While prepping the pizza base for dinner tonight, there was a knock at the door. Flashy was concerned that it was the single woman from next door, who suggested to our hosts that she might pop over for a drink. Apparently, she’d talk the leg off a chair!
No, in a typical Irish way, it was the Dominos Pizza man with a bottle of Coke and a
pizza. “Not for me, mate.” "Well, if
says number two,” he says. Sure enough, we are number two but clearly we’d eat
grass before a Dominos pizza. Guess he got a free feed.
