My better half was quite used to me waking up on a Sunday morning and saying, \u201cI think we\u2019ll go to Cork today, or London.\u201d Indeed, on one occasion it was France, as the BBC weather forecast informed me that it was \u201ccalm down around the Lizard\u201d, and so would be a perfectly calm sailing from Rosslare to Cherbourg. Ringing Irish Ferries to make a booking, the somewhat startled chap had said \u201cDo you realise, missus, it\u2019s now 11am and the boat sails at 4pm?\u201d \u201cNo, problem.\u201d says I, blithely. \u201cIf we miss it, we\u2019ll go to Kerry.\u201d It was one of the best things we ever did, rolling off the boat at Cherbourg with no reservations anywhere \u2013 it\u2019s the way I like to travel, constantly curious as to what\u2019s around the corner. Anything more than two nights in one place, no matter how gorgeous, is my idea of a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Anyway, on another Sunday morning in 2018, our \u2018surprise\u2019 trip was only down the road to Greystones, where I\u2019d spotted a new Pakistani restaurant doing brunch, which was something of a novelty for an Asian restaurant at the time. Owned by Waseem Saeed, we thoroughly enjoyed it, and more particularly the fact that the head chef was his wife, Rahat, joining the limited ranks of female chefs in Ireland, not to mention head chefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With branches already thriving up and down the Dart line, Daata has opened a fab new city centre…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[79,18,19,17,4746,30901],"class_list":{"0":"post-293750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-life-magazine","13":"tag-lucinda-osullivan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115926907209859457","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
