The whole gang at the end of a brilliant day!

Techically this was not a comedy show, but we had laughed a LOT making it and also watching it back. The premise of the series ‘Two For the Road’ is that a celebrity (ah, that’s me – I’m basically Ireland’s answer to Jennifer Love Hewitt fyi) and a disabled person go on an adventure, and reach some mutual understanding along the way. So I went off to Rancho las Cascades with Sinead Kane, a visually impaired solicitor from Cork.

Maeve and her hero, Calypso.

I loved Mexico, the people were so kind to us with our no-Spanish and our clumsiness on the horses, the place is also incredibly beautiful. I really loved horseriding too, even when I couldn’t see anything (part of the challenge was to take on Sinead’s visual impairment) I trusted my horse Calypso absolutely. He was so brave and good!

I’m so glad to have met Sinead and grateful to her and Yellow Asylum Films for having experienced, even just in a small way, what it’s like to be visually impaired. Find out more about Sinead here. If you’re in Ireland you can watch the episode for the next few weeks here
