How Many Guinness Pints Does It Take: The UK Diversion.

Flying out this morning from Valencia to London, where we will visit friends in a place called The Walled Garden out in the lovely countryside.

Then tomorrow we'll brave the British backbush further by heading on into the hedgerows and heath on our way to Shropshire for a full day of friendship and folly.

Finally, we will zip up to Northern Ireland for 4 days to visit a dear friend, see the Titanic Museum, the Giants Causeway, and perform a scientifically valid sampling of Irish pubs.

During this important research of the local pubbery, the mission, quest, thing is to learn to speak Irish. I just wonder how many Guinness pints are required to learn it?

We shall see.

But will definitely write more on each stage of our little UK diversion as we go.
