nice, Michelle. you always introduce me to several palces I had not known about.
Thanks Michelle for the list of good spots!
I hope you get to visit some of the award-winners on your next trip. They really are special.
Great to see Yeats Tavern in Drumcliff there – have stopped off there many times on my way from Rathmullan in north Donegal to Ballymote in south Co. Sligo
