Family reunions overseas



I can thoroughly recommend meeting loved ones overseas. It has been nearly 2 years since seeing Paul and Lee (our nephew and niece) in Adelaide.
We have spent 3 wonderful days with them slowly walking the streets of Dublin. I say slow because it had snowed and was very icy to walk. Once Julie my sister bought her "Wellies" as they call them she felt more confident to walk around and had dry feet. We saw the Book Of Kells this time and the famous Long Room of Trinity College. It was an incredible thing to see and just confirms how young our country is and of course our history. We met Rory who has been seeing Lee our niece for sometime. He fits right in and was giving as much as he received from all of us. The nights were the best with loads of laughter from all. They are back in Edinburgh now and my sister Julie is leaving to go home to Australia tomorrow. More tears I suspect. They will be home in April .. it will go quickly. We all left Dublin to go our separate ways. We were off to Manchester and they flew to Edinburgh. See you home soon guys it was so good to see you again.
