We set off for Donegal at 9am - a 3 hour drive to the north west corner of Ireland. Before leaving Co Down we stopped at the Rostrevor memorial which amusingly (because of the Amercan film crew) was a memorial to local boy General Trevor Ross for his sucessful burning down the White House in 1814.
Clouds gathered as we travelled west & by the time we reached Lough Eske castle in Donegal it had started to drizzle. The first film session was the Grannies taking a master class with Chef Philip Ferber – making their own hot smoked salmon & a shoulder of Donegal beef.
This took twice as long to film as planned & was rounded off with them sitting down to eat what they had just cooked. Although they are good cooks in their own right both Grannies were impressed with how much more you can learn from a professional chef.
With barely a pause we rushed into a classic car scene where Regina climbed into a 1980 Merceedes 350SL classic sports car arranged through Golden Oldies of Killybegs

We had blazing sun earlier in the day but wouldnt you believe it, the rain got heavier as we tried to film a nice drop top sportscar scene, arriving at the castle, which ended up as a very soggy affair.
