FormerlyLavender,
I've stopped in the pleasant town of Macroom a few times while driving between Cork and Killarney. I hope you get there again soon.

JJ,
Like you, I've traced my ancestors to Yorkshire (and met some of their descendants there). My surname came from the Yorkshire ancestors. On the coming trip, I'm again staying in their village, Silsden. I loved the "All Creatures Great and Small" books and TV series. James Herriot (real name Alf Wight) was still signing books at his veterinary practice in Thirsk when I first visited Yorkshire. The TV series was filmed in and around Askrigg and I called into the building still called Skeldale House. I hope you get to Yorkshire one day. Good luck with your coming trip closer to home.
