So Cute

This little gem arrived yesterday from the very handsome Charlie, where he tells me that he's having a great time and that he loves me.

So cute and just what a girl wants to hear.  Such a pity he's only 7 years old!

Amster-dam Nice!

After a serious postcard drought I got a big delivery from my sister and her friends from their visit to Amsterdam recently.  The three I've chosen are a few of my favourites, some were very funny but not suitable to share, due to the nature of the city they were sent from!

They couldn't find a postbox and so sent them all together in an envelope on their return.  I love when the postcard has actually travelled, but better they arrive by envelope than not at all.

Yes, I'm talking about you Tracey!

Who shockingly didn't send me anything, she's always been such a strong contributor in the past.  But after I communicated my dismay to her she has promised to do better and as she has lots of travel scheduled for the summer I've got high hopes that she'll redeem herself.

Otherwise I'm sending these ladies after her, check out the legend on the right!

Caravaning in Clare

I spent the weekend with my friends Laura and Luisa where we enjoyed good food and company in Laura's lovely county Clare.

It was Luisa's birthday mid week so after some sightseeing in the beautiful Burren region, we celebrated on Saturday evening with an amazing meal at An Fulacht Fia restaurant just outside Ballyvaughan (I highly recommend the lamb en croute).  We were staying in Laura's holiday caravan so we hit the beach for a walk and then headed back for a few beers and a couple of rounds of gin rummy.  Oh yeah, it was a crazy night!

Summer in Ireland is as reliable as a politician so as you can see from the photos, it was just a little on the windy side.  But it certainly blew away the cobwebs and we had a great time.

A pleasure as always ladies!x
