Derdriu,
Thank you for commenting. The Irish stew was in a deep dish. It was slow-cooked and full of ingredients. It is traditionally served with soda bread. I had to leave it as I had not paid for an extra bag on the plane home!
I will look ...

Sorry no. I never managed to get to Hemsley, though I hope to do so. My illness means that I have had to stop driving, permanently. so I cannot drive over there, and the site is a bit out of the way.

Dublin ; The Book of Kells
The colors are photogenically beautiful and clear.
Is this a tribute to the quality of the drawing and writing materials? Or would this also be due to something that their preservers must be submitting the Book of Kells to on a regular basis?

I went to Dublin for the day yesterday and I had the best Irish Stew I ever had. It was a huge portion and of course I could not manage it. I took the accompanying soda bread home with me in my handbag! The portion is pictured above.
