I read this post in toto the other day...(I think that's right, "in toto") and wrote a response about the high tea, the beautiful old hotel, the nice room, the food, etc. and how cute your daughter is. once again I must be forgetting to fill in the word that proves I'm not a robot.

Wel...iBeati she's so much fun really. Lovely lady.<br /><br />Welcome back Mrs . . not quite as glam as your honeymoon but fun all the same!<br /><br />Susan, there's loads of bloggers in Cavan, you should connect . . .email me and I'll let you know who. Yeh, I'm in the lotto draw too to visit Ireland would you believe!<br /><br />Mrsupole, it's been a long time since I've had a proper holiday so was due for a mini break. Clare actually redeemed a Christmas gift voucher for the high tea so it was FREEEEE! Glad you enjoyed it. I travel vicariously myself!<br /><br /><br /><br />Ropi that's fine. All complements accepted with grace!<br /><br />kj lots of people say we look alike but without her specs, I think she's more like her dad. Yep, we're the best of friends that's for sure. Actually it was luxurious but very cheap, listed on lastminute.com.au which has 'specials' for travel and accommodation. Very useful little site!<br /><br />Subby your a funny bloke! Sadly we were so full on little sandwiches and cakes, we didn't even dip a strawb in the fountain!<br /><br />Indeed Wuffa!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-56028332702358433202009-05-30T06:23:26.436+10:002009-05-30T06:23:26.436+10:00good all round, then :)good all round, then :)laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-38151184305052989302009-05-30T04:05:54.634+10:002009-05-30T04:05:54.634+10:00Baino, an inspiration hit whilst I was waiting for...Baino, an inspiration hit whilst I was waiting for mum at hospital clinic.

It is nice to meet with bloggy buddies, I hope you get to go back sometime for the dinner. I like how you took us along on the trip. You have a way of making us feel like we are right there beside you. And I love those high teas. They just cost a lot. Chocolate Fountain sounds yummy. I need to get my fondue set out. It works pretty good too.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all of this with us.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-75705710483135980862009-05-29T21:33:41.536+10:002009-05-29T21:33:41.536+10:00What a wonderful trip and how cool is that to meet...What a wonderful trip and how cool is that to meet up with a fellow blogger!

Doesn't matter, I've got a smaller version at home! And yes, I insist on packng stuff in.

My niece however, I don't think will ever come back to Sydney, she's very fond of the place. And yes, Kath was lovely. $7.50 for two pieces of white bread, a slice of processed cheese and I think they actually just waved the ham over the top!<br /><br />Oh you! Don't be daft!

I've lived there twice, both times close to the Army base, and pretty much a "stay at home" except for grocery shopping. I love the hotel pictures, they're beautiful! Old fashioned places like that appeal to me much more than the shiny bright modern stuff.<br />So it's true what they say about airport food...Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-90330490075510667182009-05-29T16:37:19.607+10:002009-05-29T16:37:19.607+10:00Tsup*!* Blimey you managed to pack a lot in.

FF is on it's way . . .*Chest! Giggle*<br /><br />We were lucky to have my niece and another friend give us a 'heads up' on some of these places Subby, otherwise we would never have known they existed. Except Little Creatures which screams at you from the road! Poor Mom, having diabetes probably would prevent her from enjoying it . .lots of carbs!<br /><br />Hedonistic? Moi? Well . . maybe just a little. Well Nick if you get the chance you'd love it and it was all veggie except one or two ham finger sandwiches.<br /><br />I'm actually becoming quite fond of tea Brian and toying with the idea of actually buying a tea pot and leaf tea rather than the ol' Irish Breakfast Tea bags!<br /><br />Clever, I'm ashamed to say that I've been to precious few cities around Australia. Each seems to have it's nuances but it's always helpful to have a local guide!<br /><br />Wuffa, we walked enough to burn off the yummies! Neither of us gained weight but we slept like babies when we got home we were to tired!<br /><br />Toots, you're more than welcome if you can stand 14 hours in a tin can!<br /><br />No worries Wings that's what this blogging thing is all about!<br /><br />No kids on three wheelers Kat but plenty of Tram dinging . . I still don't know why they 'sound' their bells at all hours. Plus we were at the back of the hotel so the frequent crashing of bottles was also heard as the garbos picked up the rubbish! <br /><br />She is indeed a very nice young girl Ropi, that's Clare, my daughter . .fine company she is and a very sweet tooth. I drink Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea! In fact, I am drinking it right now!<br /><br />Cute isn't it Ronda. Very quirky as are the cocktails!<br /><br />GM that's the plan. I'm sorry I missed David McMahon actually he would have been a very interesting dude to chat with. Perhaps next time.<br /><br />Marianna, you have the Greek Islands on your doorstep and summer vacation coming up . . have a break in Santorini! That's somewhere I'd absolutely love to go.<br /><br />Collette, it wasn't quite as spooky as the photos make it look but definitely old fashioned and to my taste. I think if the walls could talk, they'd have a bit to say!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-83191062056631682592009-05-29T06:15:54.932+10:002009-05-29T06:15:54.932+10:00Wow looks like a great trip and I loved the room e...Wow looks like a great trip and I loved the room even with the redrum.
