This one's for you Mary........................

I am now taking requests on my blog!

Every time people travel abroad, the same old subjects crop up I guess. What's the weather like? How are the locals?  You know, the really important stuff that matters when you're abroad. I guess many of us hanker for some tastes of home when we are away. Some spend their entire holiday in Paddy McMakeyupname's, the local Irish bar, which in fact bears no resemblance to any bar at home. Other's are prepared to pay huge excess baggage fees and flaunt International Custom & Excise Laws by freezing 50lbs of Superquinn sausages and packing boxes of Barry's tea and Tayto crisps. It's always nice to have something to make you think of home I guess.

For me there two features of this trip that make me feel right at home. One is the potholes in the roads which are about as wide as Julia Roberts gob, and the second is pictured to the left. I could write many words on how nice the food is here, unfussy and basic at times, but nevertheless tasty. However for those of you that know me, this picture sums it all up really. (Still not as nice as my Mammy's homemade variety though)
