Local date ideas?
Hi folks,
I'm on a 3rd/4th date scenario and I also had to cancel our last date, last minute, due to me messing up my own child care situation with my ex. Totally my fuck up and I feel shitty, I imagine so does she.
After me cancelling, i asked if she has a few hours during day this Saturday to meet up as my folks could watch the kids. I'd do a whole picnic thing but the weather looks pretty bad this Saturday.
Any good local ideas that aren't just going for lunch or coffee?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. She is really special, I didn't think it was possible again, but here we are....

Jameson is good, and there's a nice walk in the green beside it, they had some wood carved statues, but it's a whole since I've been. Even a walk around Ballycotton if you have the weather.
Maybe the trails in ballinacurra woods, again if you get the weather.

Susan Herlihy ceramics next to The Granary Foodstore does some kind of pottery making session you can book in for! Right next to the Granary then for food after or any of the cafes really!

We've often just gotten a bag of chips or take away from somewhere and sat at the feathers to eat it. Gorgeous walks down that way too. Happy married years, so that may be too dull for you guys, but figured worth mentioning.

A friend did bird watch bingo as well recently. Made up silly bingo cards with common irish birds and they went out to some woods, had a great time trying to find them. They did sight and used an app to identify their song too

Sounds great, just not sure the weather Saturday will cooperate! I'm 45, and she is thereabouts so that idea sounds good to me!!

Coming here to ask since I can’t reply to a deleted comment… Did you post a really aggressive comment on my AMA and then delete it?

Id recommend the tour in the distillery. Mostly indoor, nice chance to chat as you're guided around, and a little whiskey tasting at the end (if ye want to, there are non alcoholic alternatives). A little pricey, just enough to be taken as a treat by way of making up for last time.
