During a gap in lockdown last summer my husband and I did a West Coast of Ireland road trip known as the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’. We started off in County Cork way down at the bottom and worked our way up. It was a holiday but I managed to collect a handful of new stockists along the way. It was my first time at Ballymaloe and we treated ourselves to an awesome Sunday lunch for my birthday on a super sunny day, it was superb. To top the day off I was over the moon that they placed an order for my little pieces (and a second one a few weeks later!). The house is so elegant and of course I fell in love with the grand Georgian door. I cannot wait for excuse to go back again, maybe next time I’ll hand deliver.
