It's been a bit of a strange week. Partly because of thoughts of my friend and neighbour and partly because I've been getting ready to go away! .............Yes!............Again! LOL We are going on a coach trip to Southern Ireland on Sunday.

I think I may have mentioned before that my DH will be 60 this year so we have decided to push the boat out and go a bit mad with the holidays, so I will be missing a few times this year (VBG). I think we both feel we're getting older (ok I know 60 isn't that old but we both have health issues and you never know what's coming) so we are going to spoil ourselves and hang the expense! (Remind me I said that when things get tight!).
~
We are going to be staying in Killarney in South West Ireland and will be taking a tour round the famous Ring of Kerry and also visiting Dingle, famed for Fungi the dolphin. We have some friends who live near Tralee so we are hoping to see them while we are in Killarney.

Before our trip I have sqeezed in a day out (not another one!!!) to Thriplow (pronounced Triplow) near Duxford in Cambridgeshire. The occasion was their 40th Daffodil Weekend and this was yet another coach trip. Not only did I go to this very enjoyable event but I also met up with the very lovely and very talented Mrs Fan My Flame, otherwise known as Gina! And to top that we got three bloggers for the price of two when Dottycookie came along with her family! How about that, real life imaginary friends in the flesh!

Thriplow was certainly busy today and the rain held off so it was a lovely, traditionally English day out with craft stalls, produce stalls, rides on horse drawn carts, face painting for the children, Morris Dancers, open gardens, a Flower Festival in the church and much more.

Unfortunately Blogger will not let me upload any pics tonight and as I have to finish getting ready to go away I will keep this short and come back to it when I get back. (Sorry, this is now a bit disjointed :( )

Be good everyone and I'll see you all soon with lots of photos no doubt. :)

I've never been to Ireland. It's the only place I've ever truly wanted to see. My maiden name is O'Keefe which could be part of it but I also have family names of Holloway (from England), Lopez (from Spain, not Mexico) and Anderson (Norway). Why not those places - who knows; perhaps the fairies are calling me.
Hope you thoroughly enjoy your trip and I can't wait to see pictures.
Hope you've had a wonderful time, Judy xxx
