Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with
my mum and dad. One day, we were driving
through a small village. It was time for
lunch, so we stopped at a restaurant .

It was a large, old building. We looked

through the window. There were lots of
people in the restaurant. They were eating,
drinking, and chatting. A musician was
playing the violin. But there was something
strange about the people. They weren't
wearing normal, modern clothes. They were
wearing hats, jackets, and dresses from
another century. We couldn't understand it.
But we were hungry, so we opened the door.
THANK YOU !!!
