Ireland and England

 An excellent trip to Ireland - ending up in London to see Poppy. In Ireland we stayed at a couple of castles and drove to see some ancient monuments, castles and gin and tonics. The Cliffs of Moer, Boats and weaving in Killybegs and Grianan of Aileach - an Iron Age hilltop ringfort.  In Northern Ireland we saw the elusive and legendary “cousin Johnny” in his natural habitat with his wife Wendy . The Devils causeway and The Dark Hedges were also highlights .Also our London flight was cancelled so we got the overnight ferry from Belfast to Liverpool with a cabin and then a high speed train to London, then a tube and a few trains more and we got to Poppy’s hotel. Excellent times. After the pictures there are some videos - showing an Irish Weaving Loom in action, Poppy and Fred Sheeran rocking the bar and the frosty view from the train.

The Incident

                                                   Leaves ! Squirrel ! Mind the Gap!

like a bridge over troubled water -  Julio was out on a mission that went awry - had to call Simon and Garfunkel on this one - and we called Extreme Towing who sent their grandchildren ( watch the video).  They handled it like pros and we were all home by 4 for tea and cake !

UK 2023

An excellent trip to the UK - Blaire  along for the ride - we took in the South East of England to see Glyn and Liz, Granville and Julie and our top friend Alan , then up to the south west of Scotland to see Billy and Anna and Cousin Johnny and his wife Wendy !  We took  in some golf on Ashley's Birthday. Check out the videos! After that it was up to the North West of Scotland to an epic spot in the Highlands  were there was fishing and tea and pies and  mountains . Evidence of such is in the pictures. Then we headed south to see cousin Elspeth in central Scotland and on to Edinburgh for the night - and to London the next day. The link below is to an album of pictures taken by all 3 of us  and below that a link to  some videos. The ocean at Felixstowe, great footage on the Queensferry Bridge, Dash cam from the Highlands, Birthday golf  (with music)  and baggage handling plus take off from Heathrow.
