..and we're off!

Well, that was the last of the "hols" and what a lovely day it was!
We headed down the scenic route to Carlingford and back across the border to Warrenpoint today...eating far too much on the way and even stopping off to watch a chicken race - seriously!!

Ready for anything! Not the healthiest option but hard to beat :)

I just love rural Ireland - en route to Omeath

Well, that's it for a while- back to porridge in the morning  - I have all my card, punches, dies etc set out and ready to go for tomorrow.

  4. Oooh, you had a lovely outing. I've not been to Carlingford, it's the 'wrong' side of the country for me, so would be a long day trip. I'll pop in tomorrow (as usual). to find out what you are going to be up to.
