How can you buy Killarney

                                                                                         We awoke at the Eviston House Hotel, a truly lovely place, we had our breakfast, and once more boarded the coach ,and set off for some more adventures ,We stopped off some where the name escapes me ,and found a post office selling shamrock ,to post ,one of the residents back home is Irish so we sent some  to her (she later told me she cried when she received it ,she hadn’t been able to wear the shamrock on St Patrick’s day for twenty three years)

Was exactly loike du warter on de uther soide of du bridge ! loses a lot in the telling but you can imagine!  , It was very windy, and during the course of the ride my hat blew off, he stopped and Maurice went back! Then Mick clicked for the horse to move on leaving Maurice running behind, and telling me he needed a new woife! , roars of laughter from the other four people sharing the ride, we rode on and saw the most wonderful scenery, and the ride then came to an end near a very picturesque Country house,where Queen Victoria used to stay and to visit Kerry ,our coach was waiting here with the passengers that hadnt taken the 'jarvey ride 'on then off we set for the wonderful coach ride around the  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
