Go to Vienna and and Salzburg you won’t be disappointed, obviously I’m biased as they’re steeped in the history of Beethoven and Mozart but they are beautiful cities on their own merits.
Another bias on my part would be Sicily.
I’ve never been to Norway or Sweden so maybe somewhere there would be attractive to me
Thanks for all the nice words and things guys. From the other side, I had my nan’s funeral today (or yesterday now) and the eulogy was good. I was even told I was funny. And as @Midfield_Maestro likes to pretend, I’m apparently not funny. But yeah, my anecdotes were very well written and very funny! So there.
Spent the afternoon getting drunk with my many cousins on my nan’s funeral tab. And then ended the evening back at Country2Country festival in London watching Thomas Rhett and Niall from One Direction.
Thomas Rhett being a guy my Nan once said about “if I was 50 years younger I would!”
I feel calm now though. Ready to sleep and then smash the rest of the country music festival as my Nan would have liked.
From my own experience and it hasn’t bombed yet but when I’ve been to an Irish funeral the old joke about what’s the difference between an Irish funeral and an Irish wedding always gets a laugh
@shamrockgooner I seem to recall some time ago there was a discussion about the great Irish sickness remedy of flat 7up and dry toast, so for another bit of Irish growing up trivia on a great day, are you still scared of the wooden spoon?
