In March 1990 Frederick Harrison set off in his camper van on a sentimental journey in the steps of his Irish forebears. Sentimentality, however, didn't stand a chance against the combined predations of Pugwash and Cheesy, Fred's feline travelling companions. Pugwash, featured in the author's previous book Travelling Cat, and Cheesy kept The Guardian newspaper readers entranced from Good Friday to October with stories of their experiences in Ireland. The author's humorous impressions of Ireland are the main content of this book.
