Today in Waterford and spending the morning catching up. Have counted and bagged the money, emailed ahead, sorting out the video for youtube, trying to get some help for collecting next week, clearing out the car, trying to dry some washing (funny sight Sam and me in the bathroom trying to hang up a washing line -and of course not agreeing on the best way!!) and uploading photos. Unfortunately the latter has taken a few hours of hunting for the camera. Sadly cannot be found and big dispute as to where and more importantly who had it last. Enough said. Hopefully it will turn up. It was a little camera that you can easily carry in ruck sack. Fortunately I have my camera and so I have been adding what I have to some past blogs. Oh well these this are sent to try us. It's a shame no record of first few days although we do have the video of us setting off.
Sam and Aunt Kathleen in Eugene and Ann's lovely garden. Kathleen has four children- Eugene (married to Ann), Brendan (who lives in London and married to Sile and they have little Hugo), Paul (married to Ciara) and Claire (married to Paul) - so these are all my Paul's first cousins. (Paul is a popular name!). Is that all clear?
Young Tom getting the gardening done (Claire and Paul's son)
Paul with little Miabh (Irish spelling for Maeve)
Our wonderful hosts Eugene and Ann with lovely little Eion (Irish for Owen). Apologies if I am getting these Irish spellings incorrect, Sam does not believe me.
Ciara, Maibh, Kathleen and Paul
The truly delightful Laura who made our time in Dundrum very happy.
Anyway added some lovely photos of the family (sorry Claire you must have been hiding catch you on our return!). Also a big thank you to my cousins who I have spoken or had contact with in the past few days including Kathleen, Joan, Nell and Nora. It's great encouragement -thanks a million!
It is now pouring outside just in time for us to pack the car.
