Been travelling the Wild Atlantic Way in co Donegal, some of the most spectacular coastal scenery I’ve ever seen…. Donegal town is delightful. There's a McGee outlet store in the square only a few doors away from a great pub where the Guinness is kept perfectly. What's not to like? Incidentally, the town square is called the diamond and is triangular. Only in Ireland. And the northernmost point of Ireland (Malin Head) is in the South. Only in Ireland. Again!

Wahay! Have a great time in my homeland. Eire? Are you sure? Yes. Just cos the bit I was born in was stolen years ago doesn't make it any less a part of Ireland. And it's what it says on my passport.

My mistake. I thought it ceased to Eire in 1949 when it became the Republic of Ireland and British references to 'Eire' were replaced by 'Ireland' following the GFA. I didn't know it was officially still used though that makes sense since Eire was historically the entire island and the word is Irish after all. Every day is a school day.

Do you think I'd get away with printing that and pasting it on my own.

And do everything twice? To be sure, to be sure.

Was the pub called McCafferty’s? Went in there for our daily pint of Guinness yesterday evening. We went to Malin Head this week - spectacular! Now in Salthills, Galway - bit busier than Donegal!

I was thinking of the Old Castle bar which is on Tirchonnaill Street just off the Diamond.
You'll love Galway. To be fair, you can't go far wrong anywhere on the West coast. Do you go down as far as Cork? I desperately want to move back and am trying to persuade OH that the Atlantic coast isn't too Storm battered!
