Lure of the Links

“That’s not a golf course, it’s a bloody battlefield,” remarked by husband Bill as we stepped up to the first tee on the Old Course at Lahinch.

Full English Breakfast
Ever wondered what the difference is in the full breakfast as you travel around the countries that make up the UK? Eggs and bacon will be included everywhere, but what accompanies them may differ.
In England you can expect to find sausages, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms and may be offered black pudding, baked beans and fried bread. Breakfast tea is usually stronger than most other varieties and toast and marmalade will be on the table.

Old Head Suite
Old Head Golf Links has gone through a massive refurbishment over the past few years; transforming into a beautiful five star resort. With 15 brand new suites, all overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the golf course, or both, it’s proving to be one of the most charming golf resorts in Ireland. I was privileged to be invited to stay overnight shortly after the suites opened…and what a visit it proved to be. The rooms are as good as any you’re likely to find in Ireland; tastefully decorated, and extremely spacious with everything (and more) that you’d expect from a five star hotel. The highlight for me was the relaxing in the bath while enjoying watching golf on the bathroom’s flat screen TV…the perfect way to finish the evening after a mouth watering seafood platter in the main restaurant.

St. Patrick's Day Celebrations in New York City
With the presence of St. Patrick’s Day (and festive ‘tourist drive’ parades being held in New York and Los Angeles), we are always reminded of the Irish culture and it was very interesting to read a recent report on the present economic stance of the country.
