morning light and the moon
After our long afternoon at Coumeenoole Beach we found our bed and breakfast, The Plough. The hostess, Beatrice, made us feel right at home. When we got warmed up and settled, we headed out again for dinner at Lord Baker’s, Dingle’s oldest gastro pub and largest restaurant. Tim & I had one of that night’s specials, Slow Roast Shank of Kerry Lamb & Red Wine Sauce. (local and grass-fed lamb) It was so delicious that we are still talking about it!
When we returned to our B&B I was feeling chilled so Beatrice warmed up a hot water bottle with a faux fur covering to take to bed with me. I warmed up quickly and slept very soundly. 🙂
Sunday morning Tim & I woke up before the others and took a morning walk. The surrounding scenery was soothing and pastoral. We were overlooking Ventry Harbour and the moon was still in the sky.
When we returned for breakfast we had a pleasant surprise. The first thing offered was porridge and was it ever tasty! Beatrice said the “secret” ingredients were local, sweet cream and a little shot of Bailey’s. 🙂 Then we had a choice of various egg, ham, and sausage breakfast combinations.
I loved the pillows Beatrice used in her sitting room! This was our first time ever staying at a bed & breakfast ~ thank you Larisa & Dima for the special treat!!!
We had a long day ahead of us and so we were then off for the next adventures.
We did indeed have a wonderful time at the Plough! And yes, the Roast Shank of Kerry Lamb was that good!
An unforgettable dinner and morning walk!
What a beautiful place! And what a beautiful you. 🙂
Thank you so much, Robin! 🙂
THAT was a treat for all of us who got left behind. No picture of the lamb dish, but that’s ok with me; that you and trod both loved it was enough. Beautiful scenery and hint of daffodils. Spring, o Spring, we’re waiting for you in CT!
I had used up my camera batteries on the beach and didn’t think to use my cell phone to get a picture… It’s funny, since I’ve put up my spring decorations and since you commented we’ve had three nor’easters in 12 days. And might be getting another one next week. It might be a long wait for spring! Can’t wait for our first spring walk, Janet. 🙂
What a picturesque place to stay at! And wonderful to see this sweet picture of you!
Thank you so much, Tiny! 🙂
Looks lovely. And the view is very similar to the sort of landscape we have here in Wales.
Nice to see your face, Barbara. x
Thank you so much, Val! 🙂 I was actually thinking of you in Wales while I was enjoying the scenery. It did remind me of some of the pictures you’ve posted over the years.
