Sat 4th April

This morning another lovely walk - through woods, over fields, etc but not as many gates as yesterday and more views. After lunch my hosts drove me to Gatewick along lanes, past hedges, through little villages – it was very scenic. I caught my first RyanAir flight – to Dublin. My niece, J, met me at the airport – she had arrived earlier and had collected a car. We drove, via the port area and a nice view out to sea over the sand, into the main town. After a few circuits we found a park and went looking for a reasonably priced restaurant serving Irish food – along with many other people. We found a lovely place. J had an Irish beef stew and I had a seafood pancake – their pancakes, called boxtys, have potato in them, but are still quite thin. It was quite late by the time we got to the b and b .
