Working backwards, we had a 2nd (in 6 weeks ) stay with Meghan in Roscrea, Tipperary. Cormac's first birthday had been the week before, but Meghan had a party while we were there.

The wee laddie did magnificently and loved all the attention. His little smile at the cake cutting ceremony gave us all a huge thrill. He's a fine little fellow, bright and full of charm but nonetheless a handful for his dear Mum and Dad. What fun we had with them all. Other highlights of the trip were the very special dinner we had with Meghan and Dennis courtesy of Flannan and Mary, the beautiful day M and I had cycling to Loch Dearg from Nenagh ( following the epic train journey ( reminded me of Crossmichael to New Galloway in about 1950 ) from Roscrea to Nenagh ) and then all the way back to Roscrea, and finally a day with Meghan , Dennis and Cormac to Rock of Cashel with a very nice lunch given to us by Meghan and Dennis at at a delightful little cafe in Cashel.

And finally back to USA - to see go back 5 or so blog entries !
