The only downside was possibly the weather but this was to be expected ..nothing major and the gentle rain only made the grass greener ! ..only a few fine days but this was more than made up by Just being in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland meeting relatives and friends .. coastal and rural trips .. personally recommending Vaughan's pub in Kilfenora for a really good meal with all the extras after taking in the views of the Burren .. father Teds house ..and Leminagh Castle ..and popping into Lahinch beside the Cliffs of Moher .. a great day out !

We stayed in Ballyvaughan as that’s where our family is from and it was amazing. Love being in Ireland. If you are near that area try and pop into Monks seafood restaurant, the seafood chowder and vegetable soup are out of this world ❤️
