Now I am no stranger to driving a vehicle at speed, but Bridget brings it to a whole new level. No way that woman would ever countenance taking main roads, Oh No she took the back roads to Knocknagree. Now I know women are supposed to multi task better than other weaker members of the human race but this was special.
She managed to hold a continuous conversation with Dawn in the front.
She was looking at her for most of the journey whilst talking.
She was lighting a cigarette.
She was gesturing with her hands to emphasise points
She did not drop under 100kph on a single track road
She refuses to believe Stop signs are there for a reason
Despite her best efforts we arrived in the village in one piece and Dawn insisted that we attended one of the pubs that I had never visited. I was greeted as I entered the bar by a couple of denizens like a long lost friend. We discussed areas of my life I never knew I had encountered, and I had never clapped eyes on them in my life. We had a few there and then trudged up the street for a few more.
I got a lift back to Killarney with Tex and we negotiated a price of 30 Euros which reduced exponentially as we picked up other passengers along the way. When we arrived at my destination we had 14 people in the 10 seater and the price was 10 Euros, bargain.
