Westward Ho!

An unexpected call from our old friend Geoff meant an unexpected visitor last night. Jane was heading to stay with Geoff on Cape Clear island, but he's ended up in hospital for tests, so couldn't pick her up from her flight or bring her West. I popped up to Cork with a sign saying Jane (Geoff) as we'd never met and we went from there. She stayed with us last night as the accommodation Geoff booked was remote if you were carless. She's originally from Lundy island off the Devon coast, but has lived for a long time in the picturesquely named Devon town Westward Ho!
She'd brought a bottle of gin as a gift, so she and Z made some inroads into that, while I was abstemious (except for some red wine and whiskey). We persuaded her to take the gin with her as her need may be greater on an offshore island. I took the shot before dropping her to the Skibbereen bus this morning.
