Dublin Welcomes the Six Week Coat

Dublin taxi drivers are very friendly and caring. After arriving at the Dublin Ferry Terminal we hail a taxi who drives us across the Liffey to Two Rooms in Dublin, I get into the back with K, she is not letting me out of her sight. Garvan and Fred, resident schnauzer helper, at the door to greet us. Our room is upstairs in what Australians would call a terrace house (I am from Turkey you know). Airy room, no fussy furniture, old stand-alone wardrobe, wooden toy crane, a desk with a vintage radio, a brass bed. I do like the stylish wardrobe.
Not long after settling in with one of Garvan's homemade scones and a cup of tea, we explore Dublin. Just walking. Dinner is what interests me, at Le Bon Crubeen. K has the pan roasted supreme of chicken, great place for her special gluten-free diet.

The next day, being Monday, it seems we have tickets booked for an Irish play, a world premier no less! It is the Dublin Theatre Festival here. The play, Our Few and Evil Days, is by Mark O'Rowe at the Abbey Theatre. This means we visit Le Bon Crubeen again, for their pre-theatre dinner menu this time, a set menu. Service excellent, so we can get on to the theatre just a few streets away on time.

A play with dark secrets. First half K laughs at times, after interval the family secrets are revealed layer by layer. Hearts stop and tears fall, then a standing ovation, it makes the hairs stand up on my collar. Brilliant!

PS. Dear Lynn,
Thank you so much for your letter. No one has ever written a letter to me before, I feel very honoured. I assure you that K is treating me very well, and is giving me all the outings I could wish for. See the above.
I have travelled a long way from Nantwich. But you never know I might see you again sometime in the future. Once again I thank you for your interest in my welfare.
Kind regards
