We went out this afternoon primarily to run a few errands although we didn’t even try to resist snagging a few caches. Nor did we resist the urge to stop for ice cream. It was an indie ice cream shop that claimed to carry sixty-one flavours of ice cream. We can vouch for the excellent quality of the Bing Cherry and of the Coffee Buzz Crunch!
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.
It was fifty years ago next month that the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy. Today we had the distinct privilege of visiting some of the places important in that offensive which ultimately led the Allied victory in the Second World War.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
