Good Morning to you! I hope you had a great weekend, filled with relaxation and enjoyment in some of your favorite activities. Our weekend was production~we got the new plants put in the garden, cleaned up the patio, cleandc up our upper deck plus a little R&R. Hubby and I actually hit the pool Saturday afternoon, alone, which is pretty unusual for us. I always prefer to go with the grands. There were some fun things we saw in Ireland that I thought I'd share. Love this sign, especially it being in the colors of the flag.
Got to love this one!
I didn't get to enjoy any of these treats, but had enough desserts to last a lifetime or maybe just a month. I'd love to say I didn't gain any weight, but I gained a couple of pounds-which just means that I have to get out and exercise it off.
Love these door signs.
This was in a pub-loved that it was authentic.
Such an incredible salad; can't remember where I had this, but I think I could live on this salad for a week or two. One of the best salads I had while there; in fact, once I ordered a Caesar and it was mixed greens, cucumber and Parmesan cheese with no dressing.
Some of the funny expressions were Pancake=Popcake. Amach=exit, Traffic Calming=reduced speed, Slip Road=Expressway. A typical Irish breakfast included Scrambled Eggs(sometimes fried eggs), Bacon-but there bacon would be our ham slices, hash brown potatoes, sauasage, broiled tomatoes, mushrooms, plus an assortment of pancakes/breads as well as yogurt and an assortment of fruits. I found that if I asked many of the hotels had gluten free bread; in southern Ireland they referred to anything gluten free as Celiac, but in northern Ireland/Belfast it was simply Gluten Free.
One cute business we saw, but I couldn't get a photo from the car was
Paws Tea Room-a pet friendly tea room.
Well, that's about it for today. I'm off to walk with Kam and then to meet my girls and grands at swim lessons. It is supposed to get up to 90 today, so maybe I'll be at the pool this afternoon.
Hugs,
Noreen
Our friends love that place called Ireland

Paws Tea Room sounds so cute. I would love to visit Ireland again.
ReplyDeleteSo many great signs and words - thanks for sharing. Mom thinks that salad would really hit the spot right about now:)

Love the signs! With food like that we'd gain a few pounds for sure. We are trying to get caught up with everyone. Glad your trip was wonderful!

Those are all so interesting. I love the hotel door tag! I'm so happy you had such a fabulous trip.
