Kilmore Quay

Happy 65th birthday to Jim who spent the past week staying in the Garden Cottage. Jim and Susan are from Kent and this was their first time in Ireland. Here's what they put in the visitors' book :

"Came to relax and enjoy Ireland: Mission accomplished, but we will have to return as there is so much to see and do.
Travelled as far as Limerick and Cork, explored many small villages and sampled a lot of Irish cuisine. All rather splendid ! Favourite place was Kilmore Quay - spent most of the day there exploring the beach and dining in the Crazy Crab bistro.
Fruit Hill will stay in our thoughts for a long time. The place is amazing and hosts Susan and Richard the best !
Thank you for making us so welcome. Hope to come back soon, perhaps with the rest of our family."
We hope you will come back soon - it's always nice to see people coming back to us.

Buzzards in Wexford

The Buzzard population in Ireland has been making a steady recovery, but the bird-watchers' websites don't seem to know that there are two pairs at Fruit Hill. Yesterday was fine and sunny, and we were treated to an amazing display of aerobatics high in the sky over our heads.


This is just an approximation !

St. Patrick's Day today, and there are parades all over the place. It hasn't rained yet, but the buzzards won't be flying high today judging by the clouds.
Happy St Patrick's Day
