A break!

We are in the UK for Easter. We arrived yesterday and it has been full on ever since! We had a great journey over even though we had to take 2 planes (I know that is really bad for the environment but I could not resist the price of 10 euro and no taxes for each flight compared to an unbelievably high price for a direct flight from Cork to Stansted). The boys coped really well with the stop-over at Dublin. I think that the excitement of seeing Nanny June and Grandad Paul kept them going. I have no idea what their mood will be on the way home!

It is lovely to have a few home comforts for a while - especially a lovely bath that I can lie full stretch in! The boys have space to spread all the toys out too but they do miss the space outside to play. I am convinced that Conor will fall in the fish pond before the week is out!

I caught up with family today which was lovely since I hadn't seen any over Christmas time. Nanny has been very ill but she looked great and it was lovely to have a proper conversation with her now her hearing aid is operational. For so long she was too stubborn to admit that she needed one!

We have left Daithi at home so hopefully he will get some work done! I am expecting improvements! He has decided to make the kitchen after we had a quote euro 18,000 for my kitchen! I wouldn't pay 18,000 for it either! Back to my glass of wine!!!!
