AT THE FARM WITH MARY--Glenvar, Co Donegal

After getting the camper and returning the Skoda to Dublin we took off for Donegal in the NW of Ireland to visit with Mary who is Liz's aunt and William's mum and we ended up staying 3 nights in the mobile home she has on the property for her brother and other visitors. What a lovely place overlooking the sea of Lough Swilly. There was a cow hanging around the house about to give birth and Mary takes care of all that as well as feeding wild pheasants and keeping run cattle. What a nice lady, salt of the earth, keen to entertain and help us as much as possible. Liz (Anne) had her 1st experience of a beach here as a 5 year old and we went down there on a lovely morning to experience complete privacy where nobody but locals know. Later William and family turned up and we had a nice dinner at Rathmullen House. On Sunday evening Mary took us out for dinner and we said goodbye to her on the Monday at Letterkenny which has a really good Motorhome place where we got some good bits and pieces for the van
