It's a long way to Tipperary.

There are so many B & B's around Ireland - some are good and others, well......

I found one in Tipperary which was wonderful. It was called Bansha House, right in the middle of horse country. Ideal for anyone who has a special interest in these wonderful beasts.

The house was a wonderful Georgian House, covered with creeper that looked just like it had come out of a picture book. The room I had overlooked a stand of trees and paddocks of horses.

A short distance from Bansha House was a race track - I am not sure if it was only a training track, but certainly looked as if it could be either.

The host and hostess were most friendly - the host was well into horses with quite an industry from the property. The place had been run as a B & B for some 30 years. (Can you imagine sharing your house with strangers over such a long period?)

Perhaps I should have stayed longer - but that was my thoughts almost every where I went.

It was a peaceful time - time to gather my thoughts and plan. I'd been unluck with some of my "contacts" - either I couldn't contact them or they couldn't see me until later. I had to change all my plans around.

I'd head to Cork.
