From Dublin to Birmingham to Hornsea and a Christmas with my family. It was really good to see my brother and his wife and extra good to see my niece for the first time. Photos below.

A Family Christmas

31 December 2007

Short on time and dying for company and someone to have a drink with, I joined a six-day Shamrocker tour of Ireland. Our tour guide, Kevin (in my hat) Day 1: Dublin to Westport Our first stop for the day was the Hill of Tara.…

Shamrocking It Up

23 December 2007

16 December 2007
