Without realizing that it was just a few days before the August Bank Holiday weekend, when accommodation in Ireland is tight everywhere, I made a committment to visit the area for an event at Valentia in late July. Mary was able to arrange a room for me at short notice, and when my flight to Kerry was delayed for seven hours, she greeted me on my 10PM arrival with a very welcome cup of tea and a sandwich.
My room was comfortable and cosy, even with the surprisingly chilly night air for July, and when I woke in the morning I had a fine view from my window across the water to the cliffs of Valentia Island.
A cooked-to-order full Irish breakfast set me up for the day, and I left Calafont with regrets that I couldn't stay longer.More
