Kinsale

We took a walk in Glengariff before breakfast in an old oak forest following a river for about a kilometre. Once more it was showery but that didn’t deter us from taking a short boat ride past small seals trying to sunbake on rocks to Garinish Island. There were fine examples of plants from around the world – many species from Australia, some eucalypts. I saw a huon pine. An Italian Garden was laid out lined with leptospernums and callistemons and we walked through a walled Victorian garden, much smaller than the one we saw at Kilemore. We drove around the south coast, in the rain, to Kinsale, another picturesque waterside village. The narrow streets led us to a small botique where Sharon bought two dresses! Not to be outdone,I lashed out and bought a Donegal Tweed cap. Can I wear it to the wedding? Kit and I would make a good pair.
