Easter Gift

In my sisters updates for weeks 11-13 was this postcard with my choice of Bronzed Aussie as my Easter gift.  Hmmmmm - decisions, decisions.

I'll take H or I please.  A is just too eager, the E job lot is tempting but would be expensive to feed and the rest are just too high maintenance I reckon!

City Lights

Bright lights in a very big city, so it's impressive that he managed to pick his hostel out of the skyline I think.

Jay tells me in the postcard about how cramped his accommodation was, the busy pace of the city and how space is a premium.  And he fit the contents of an entire letter onto the back of the postcard with cramped and tiny writing so I actually felt slightly claustrophobic after reading it and could completely relate to his experience.

That's why I love getting postcards, you can visit somewhere without ever going.

Emerald Isle

I meant to do a post for St Patricks Day, but I met friends, went to the parade, was too tired when I came home and then just plain forgot.  Oops!

 Beannachtai Lá le Pádraig oraibh!
Happy St Patricks Day everyone!

Day Tripper

It seems no one can visit Liverpool without doing The Beatles tour.
And who can blame them, The Beatles rock!
