Our friend Eamon who drove us on the beautiful route in Connemara took us to a pub at Westport called Matt Molloy’s.
It was Wendeline’s and Mummy’s first taste of one. They weren’t so sure at first – and was actually more interested in the Grammy awards. They belong to Matt Molloy who was a member of The Chieftains.
Here’s me with one of the Grammies, doing the HMV pose – 🙂
Back to this much talked about drink –
We had to do a pose for the Grammies – there were two.
Here we are!
Well, that went down fast, Mummy!
We met lots of lovely people in the pub. At first they weren’t sure about me going in but they were intrigued by my Bertie Wax Jacket …
This is Bernie – we had a lovely chat and maybe we’ll come back again to Westport.
This is Margaret holding me and her friend Charlie.
Margaret said I reminded her of her Nippy – a border collie cross. I got lots of cuddles from her. 
And of course our drinking buddy, Wendeline.
May’s comment: Owned by one of the members of The Chieftains – it was supposedly the best place for a Guinness. We were a little unsure about trying it. But when we did – I actually liked it.
My father always had a Guinness every evening when he came home from work. I used to like the smell of it – but remember daring to take a tiny sip once and didn’t like it. But then I was about 10!
So I drank my first Guinness – in Ireland.
To my Dad!

I tried Guiness before and didn’t like it at all. Then when we went to Dublin and toured the Guiness factory, we got a free one. I must admit it tasted competely different. You look like you are having a great time MissD,, but I bet you are missing GP. X
