Ireland

This year we timed our annual visit to coincide with the kids' half term break. A glorious week with the Ryans in Killarney National Park.

An unscheduled visit this one. A wee bike spill in front of this ambulance while in our charge preceded it. A text of these 2 pics to Cormac's Mum did not impress !

A happier scene in the Halloween party which ensued
