Airfield

We were back at Airfield (new website by the way!) this morning, as the blackberry season has started, and we wanted to be ahead of the crowds - the bushes were well picked already, but Brendan managed to gather a good crop. We'll buy apples tomorrow and I'll be making my Aine McAteer crumble. Happy Days!

There was traditional ploughing in one of the fields - looks like hard work. The man behind the plough told us that the last time that particular field was ploughed was 20 years ago, and he was the one who had ploughed it!

And we discovered the new sown flower meadow. It was such a gorgeous morning that we decided to have lunch there. The south-facing terrace at the back of the house is a wonderful spot - I had the salmon and leek quiche - it wasn't really a quiche (it fell apart in the microwave) but it was tasty all the same. And good value, we felt - €10.50, with 3 salads (I had coleslaw, melon and potato salad - all very nice)
