We’ve been completely spoiled by David, the cook at the Ranch (and Diane too!) I didn’t have a second helping today, there was [...]

I bought a Cadbury Creme Egg in January

Creme Eggs go on sale earlier and earlier every year. It’s like Christmas all over again. Maybe we’ll see special “Christmas Creme Eggs” later in the year? They’re still yum though!

Lunch in the Long Valley Bar, Cork

We had lunch in the Long Valley Bar a few days ago. This is an old pub on Winthrop Street in the heart of Cork City. It’s a great place to go drinking at night, it’s full of atmosphere and lovely old decor. Unfortunately for lunch it’s only ok. Not that I can judge properly, [...]
