The scan of the pin ( see below ) removed from Misha by Meghan and Dennis

Much work by G and M on this shrub bed at the Vet practice. Could only be done on a Sunday.

The pin swallower !

.... and here it is after removal

                                           A big project at The Curragh. All dug, rocks removed and ready to plant.

                                           Just been given painting and spruce up. The Sunday gardening project.

                              Iona, Meghan, Dennis, Cormac , Granny Moon and Angus
 We had 10 glorious days with Meghan and her family at their  new house 10 minute drive out of Ennis, Co Clare.  It is a magnificent house they have built on a spectacular piece of ground south facing and overlooking green pastures for which Ireland is so famous. Result of all that rain!But the sun shone for us for much of the time we were there, and we did not get much rain. This allowed us to do a lot of work creating a part of Meghan’s garden pretty much from scratch and preparing the soil and planting over 200 new plants.

Although the kids were in school for much of the time we were there, we had some great times with them and all sorts of activities chess among them. 

The flight Inverness to London to Shannon - a good routing. Equally so, Dublin - Reykjavic - Denver.

                                       Joined by some very hard workers in Angus and Iona

                                          Future Granny flat on east side of the house?  The old stable yards.

                                    Cormac teaching Grandad on the art of hurling
were able to fly direct to Denver from Dublin via Iceland. 

A memorable visit. The next time we will see them Saturday will not be till we meet and space side for my final Munro party at the end of July 2020. I am expecting all three kids to get to the top and still be on good form for the ceilidh in the evening!
