Grannies on Safari in Ireland

I'm in Ireland again for the second time this year. Last time I travelled by car ferry from Holyhead to Dublin & I still think the ferry has a lot to offer that beats flying hands down. The flight time is just 50 minues from Heathrow but theres at least 3-4 hours messing around at the airport at each end.

I'm travelling to meet the 'Grannies on Safari' (www.granniesonsafari.com) - my American friends Regina Frasier & Pat Johnson who make TV travel shows. I met them while travelling from Moscow to Beijing on the trans-Siberian & now they're here in Ireland making two more travel shows.

We've a crew of three camermen & photographers, a producer - Jamison, Tom, Barry & Maria plus our local driver Pat.

Its so bright & sunny that we decided it was impossible to pass up the good weather so drove straight into Dublin to do some preliminary scene setting before travelling north to Rostrevor, just across the border in northern Ireland, to stay with PJ's son who has a house there. The house is in a stunning location nestled in the foothills of the Mountains of Mourne & over looking Carlingford Lough.

The Grannies filmed their opening scenes on a windy deck overlooking Carlingford Lough.
