That bloody song!! It's all because of that song that I had my honeymoon in Lisdoonbloodyvarna! I won't say it was the worst week of my life but.........

Maybe it was the company... I didn't really expect to be spending my first whole week alone with my new husband Manitas (although he was Sharky in those days and we'd not heard of the Mudcat) and the entire product of a certain brewery on the Liffey. Neither was the company of the rest of his band really conducive to a romantic holiday.... especially when on the first morning he called me by another band members' name!

I loved Ireland, and would love to go back again, but this time just with him (possibly the child as well, still in 2 minds about that), only during a Guinness drought and only on the condition that we DON'T go back to bloody Lisdoonbloodyvarna!

There is B&B available in the village, although I'd check the sheets, they probably haven't been changed since I was there, they certainly weren't fresh when I used them.... when I came back and said I hadn't slept properly for the whole week, people got entirely the wrong idea and I got a chest infection.
