   “Glandore to Glengariff in one go—WOW. Our route was a rollercoaster of a ride.

   Finally arrived at Emlagh around 7 p.m., unpacked and headed down to The Chart House where we had the perfect shared meal. After salad, Meryl had duck on lentils, I had goat cheese ravioli appetizer, and a bowl of vegetables.”

   “We stopped in County Limerick at Glenstal Abbey to look for a very old Quercus petrea, also known as the Sessile or Irish oak. We found ourselves walking in the beautiful grounds of the castle and abbey marveling at the quaint old larches, yews, oaks, sycamores, Chilean Pines, Cedars of Lebanon.

   It’s wonderful to be back at Longueville House. Jane O’Callahan isn’t here today but her niece or daughter; Aisling is running the place. Donald is still here and looked surprised ...indeed to see me again.”

   “Meryl texted me early that her flight was delayed. Susan, Martha and I had breakfast in the room while they packed and Susan packed, weighed, and repacked her overweight bag.

   At home, Meryl and I worked together at Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, a not-for-profit that cloned ancient trees which we were now scouting and plotting out on our route. I talked to friends Judy and Byrdie about their arrival in two days, and about their particular interests. Judy—music, people, pu...bs. Byrdie—old stuff, architecture, wide open.

   Now Meryl and I are drinking cosmos—Middleton Very Rare in the cozy Dromoland Castle bar. It’s octagonal. I won’t last long before I need bed, and to pack.”
