Winchester with the Tibbitts family

  June 24-27 I hopped on a few trains and underground transfers from Stansted and arrived in Winchester at 330 and Shane picked me up at the station.  Was so lovely to spend time with Shane, Melanie and Max’s younger brother, Hugo in their own home and see where Max grew up. Out for a dog walk w Shane on Tuesday night. On wed morning I headed out after a session w Melanie the night before on a circle route walk of the neighborhood.  I said I would like to make dinner wed night so I went to Cobbs Farm Market on my way home.  It was 12.5 km but the hardest part was the last 2.5 km with all the good food and wine in my back pack.  My back pack was a very heavy unit lol.   As I was walking by the Kingsworthy golf academy I stopped in for a latte.  Best coffee so far and highly recommend The Kitchen.  Food looked so good as well. Next stop was Cobbs after putting on an extra 2 km getting onto Farmers Lane.  Note to Jill not all trails through farm...

Ireland Days1 and 2 Tralee

Image
  Catching our first Guinness and lager after the overnight flight to Dublin.  Happy hour starts anytime in Ireland lol.  We had a 4 hour layover before catching the Ryanair flight to Kerry airport and then a short cab ride to our Airbnb in Tralee.   Our favourite pub in Tralee, great food, drink and atmosphere and the only place in town that serves dinner after 8.  After a day exploring the town and doing a bit of shopping, we bought some light snacks for our lunches and then found our trail head for tomorrow morning.  I took in a yoga class at 630 and we headed out for supper.  Not quite as lively a town as Killarney, but we will circle back there before leaving Kerry on the 24th.

Camp to Aanascaul

  Leaving Camp Juction B&B off to Annascaul. Day 2 on Dingle Way.   This stream early in the day was such a pretty spot and the video is pretty funny- she’s not that bossy normally lol. We came across the cutest pair of lambs here and I’m pretty sure this is the range of the farmer I was chatting to the night before.  Annie and Stetley will get a kick out of these two. We had a couple cheese and crackers here and barb cleaned her boots a bit inside and out lol.  Turns out she’s a sheep sh. magnet.   Over the main range w Inch Beach in the background. Beaches and grassers in the same photo- loved that and they seemed to take a liking to Barb.  We saw quite a few Holstein/Angus steers in this region that farmers utilize for their extra grass.   Tom Crean was serving in the Navy in New Zealand when he saw this ad. The fellows in the bar last night recommended the South Pole Inn as our base camp for this evening.  We stumbled in at 2 pm and enjoye...
