Comfort Food

I got home last night at 8.45 but less than 12 hours later I was back in the car on my way to Edinburgh Airport - and with a full box of papers on my iPad to get through.

The take off on the flight to Cork was bumpy and the landing even more so with gales and torrential rain there and all the way to Killarney, where it was actually even worse. At one stage I looked up at a window at the end of the room I was sitting in and all I could see was a stream of water running down it.

However the company (and the speeches) at the opening dinner of the inaugural Killarney Economic Conference was good and this little cake in my room in the hotel was a nice touch.
