This morning Richard took Ann and me over to visit the old church which he and Anne-Marie had converted into a house many years ago and is now lived in by their daughter Frances and her family.
Frances and her husband Ronan have altered the place quite a lot since they moved in.
Out the back of the church there is a prehistoric burial mound.
We had a chat with Frances who was at work so we didn't stay long. The we said our goodbyes to Richard and Anne-Marie and set off travelling south. Many many thanks to you both for your marvellous hospitality - please come to visit us in Devon if you can.
We headed south down the east coast of Ireland stopping off along the way for a cup of tea and some of Anne-Marie's amazing sponge cake which she had given us to help us on our travels. We headed to the Port of Rosslare. Here's our van lined up ready to board the ferry.
We were soon loaded onto the ferry which left on time at 18.15. There were very few passengers or vehicles on the crossing.
We got some fish and chips at the ship's canteen which were really nice. The crossing was a bit rough but we arrived at Fishguard in south west Wales on time at 21.45. We are staying tonight in a large free car and lorry park a few hundred metres from the ferry terminal.
Today we travelled 137 miles (221 kilometres) - excluding the distance we travelled on the ferry from Rosslare to Fishguard. We are at: N52.0016 W4.9924

We really enjoyed your visit Ann and Roger. It was great to catch up after such a long time and our granddaughter got such a kick out of examining the camper van with its own "shower". Thanks for all the lovely French wine. And yes we do hope to visit you in Devon sometime in the next year.
Fishguard to Dartmoor, about 115 miles as the crow flies, probably twice that by road.
I assume you're on your way home now?
Once again a really good trip and accompanying blog.
You have a reasonable pile of mail to read when you get home.
Best wishes....Steve
