Yes, she did well!<br /><br />Pondside, I certainly have to admire her pluck! She's a huge fan of Vancouver Island too, so she doesn't mind a bit of mist!<br /><br />Fennie, I did laugh when I read this, so did Tom. As for the insufficient funds bit...<br /><br />Thank you, Frances. X<br /><br />Jenny, I keep saying it, but it is. I'm definitely going back to see more of it.<br /><br />Mags, ah, we did, we did! You were so right about it being a fabulous country. And with one exception everyone was so lovely.<br /><br />Debs, I know how busy you are, but it'll be fab when you do manage to go. Lucky you to have family connections there, too.<br /><br />Hah, plenty here whenever you're passing, dear heart.<br /><br />LBD, will see what I can do on the Man in Hairy Jumper front. Yes, Ma and all. She did very well.Chris Stovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741359642268813093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-14433920986542503362010-11-18T15:59:29.672-08:002010-11-18T15:59:29.672-08:00Kerikey - I didn't realise you were taking Ma ...Kerikey - I didn't realise you were taking Ma along, too! What a woman! Absolutely glorious photos, Chris - surely must have been worth the journey. Whatsits Dingle looks absolutely gorgeous, although I think we may need to see a pic of Tom in his hairy jumper, too. <br /><br />Glad to see you back safely. xLITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-55491043488147708762010-11-18T15:35:11.456-08:002010-11-18T15:35:11.456-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-2070394409740711092010-11-18T10:46:21.133-08:002010-11-18T10:46:21.133-08:00Sounds an absolute delight !

In Icelandic of course. Of course! Somehow it didn't seem to matter. I've done it in English. Playing the stationmaster. But, yes, congratulations to Ma. A venerable lady. And generosity herself by your account what with hairy jumpers and beautiful crystal glass and all and a pint of Guinness, with your man, there, in Murphys and it with a head on it fit to float a battleship. And you having survived a force eight gale in the Irish sea just to get to little Dingle in the dawn and the far Gaeltacht beyond. Where you might walk over the river dryshod on the backs of the salmon. In the right season. Where if the cash point tells you there are insufficient funds, it may mean the bank, rather than you yourself, you understand, and come back tomorrow. But have a drink while you're waiting and sit by the cold radiator. And the fog settling on the mountains.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-35931508333240403312010-11-17T06:20:08.718-08:002010-11-17T06:20:08.718-08:00What a good sport your Ma is!
