Avoca!

We are in County Wicklow, and currently Ally, Cat, James and Davie are climbing Lugnaquilla, which is the biggest mountain around here and more importantly, over 3000 feet. I dropped them off in the car park in Glenmalure and noted the pick up point for later. I filled up the car with petrol in nearby Laragh and then set off to find the Avoca Mill Shop and Café - their original café that they opened as a wee sideline, before it became so popular that they expanded it and opened more cafés around Ireland. I have been to the one in Dublin and I loved it! Such great food! It was when I realised that we are in County Wicklow that it occurred to me that it might be nearby and it was only 25 minutes drive from Laragh. The village of Avoca itself is also very pretty. The Avoca Mill and shop and café are in old white-painted stone buildings and are very quaint indeed!
