Look who's back!!

Weeks of disappearance

A few trips happened since we last showed our pretty little faces in this blog.

It’s becoming more common, but I suppose you don’t go on holidays to write blogs, well, some people might, but you’d have to be making money from it I suppose.

Anyhow…

THE RING!!

The Ring of Kerry is a stunning drive of the south west coast of Ireland. We did it in two days. We drove past Limerick and as soon as we hit Kerry the sun started shining for us!

We stopped for some toasties, soup and Guinness in Kilorglan an continued towards to coast. Visited Waterville and the house Daniel O’Connell lived by the beach. I have to say I was very impressed to see people in the water!!! Even though it was sunny and they were wearing wetsuits! Brrrrrr!!

Drove by beautiful Waterville and said a quick prayer for uncle Donie. Then continued all the way to Sneem where we stayed the night. Saw a blue bull, the Stone outside Dan Murphy’s door, the statue of their world champion wrestler and a beautiful little river and waterfall under the bridge. It was a pleasant surprise of a little town and the B&B where we stayed, Bank House, had some nice and friendly hosts.

Up early next morning and continued our journey to Kenmare, say hello to Sheehan;s dad and continued to Killarney and back to Tipp. Up Tipp!!

Back in Birdhill we caught up with Dec’s longtime mates, Mick and Fahey and their lovely halves, Margot and Mary. Had a great night at the pub and a late one to all.

The brother came to visit the next morning and cut some wood for the fire. I had my first ever driver’s classes – for the lawn mower and the tractor!! Fun, fun! Thanks Ambrose!

Dec had Boz’s stag and that night Mary and Paul arrived in Birdhill. We went to the pub. The plan to be home by 1am never happened. Hours later and pints later and I went to bed at 4am. Ouch!!

more to come... we are in Madrid at the moment after a week in Greece!!

Mwah
