Great walk on doolough beach early this morning. Parts of the sand dunes had been swept away by storm Ciara so I was walking on ground not seen for hundreds or thousands of years. (at Doolough) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ePz9lBLtJ/?igshid=x6vgoa4fqnv0

Out and about

Thought I would drop out an up date. Its been a while but finally we can say that the extension on the house is now all but finished. Just waiting on the plasterer returning to carry out a bit of work, but apart from that its done. With this in mind we were able to get out and about so we have been taking on a couple of hikes and beach walks which have been amazing. We have had lots of visitors come to see us which has been great, still have more visitors coming in September and October. We had to get another car due to our little one litre Vauxhall Corsa not coping well on these roads, so up graded to a Kia Sportage. Posting pictures to Instagram English.paddy

It’s been a busy few weeks for us, we had Cella’s aunt Florence here, followed by my mum Gail and niece from Norway Jordan and finally for now our son Connor with his lovely girlfriend Lucia. Our older son Ryan and his girlfriend are coming over on the 12th September followed by Marcella’s brother and wife early October.
