We awakened today to a gray, misty morning. At one point we were totally inside the cloud here on our mountainside. The best antidote to that is yummy comfort food. We dug in the freezer and pulled out local blueberries and blackberries and whipped up a batch of berry berry buckwheat pancakes dredged in homemade strawberry and maple syrups. Yum! Summer on a plate!
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
