My nephew!

Here is a big shout out to my nephew Cuan who is four months today!

Howth

Mum came up on the train from Galway today and we went for a short drive out to Howth, had a look at the windsurfers in Dollymount strand and then had a nice lunch in Wrights Findlaters. We then visited Lynne's Mum & Dad which was lovely.

Daddy's Anniversary

Old Photo

Here is an old photo of our Mum we have at home. I have a plan to get it copied and blown up until it matches the size of another B & W photo we have of Dad and pair the two in a nice double frame. Must do that soon.

Athens, Greece.

Here is Lynne in Athens, Greece having a glass of wine on a well earned holiday.

Cool sculpture I saw in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA)

Patricks Power!

Two little pics of (1) Croagh Patrick in Mayo and (2) Powerscourt Waterfall in Wicklow. We climbed one and got wet under the other!

New York View

Here is a pic from a NY blog I follow by a taxi driver who uploads photos he takes from his cab all over New York city. I like this one!

Drunken Superheroes!

Niall had a party a while back with a "Superhero" theme. Here, from left to right, are David, Ian and Eoin as Captain America, Captain Underpants and Batman! Excellent!

Jinksy's Farewell to Oz Party

We had a long sunny June Bank Holiday, where I was in Doolin in Clare for John Carey's 30th, Galway City for the Volvo Ocean Race on Saturday afternoon, Headford in Galway on Saturday night for Dave O'Connell's 30th and then we all made our way to Cavan on Sunday to say good luck to Jinksy who is heading off to Australia to work there for a couple of years. Great craic in the Derrygarra Inn, Con Smyths and then finally Cavan itself where my recollections start to get a bit hazy. All I can say is that Tom Mac won the Best Barman in Ireland Award. Here is the rascal behind the bar!

Sourney

Here is my little niece Sourney. We went to limerick this Saturday to visit the new family. Had a great time chilling out and it was great to catch up with Brenda and Conor.

Marina & The Diamonds

Check out this new musical artist, Marina and the Diamonds. Welsh/Greek and the new Kate Bush? Find out for yourself.

Robert Ballagh, Irish Legend.

Elli's 30th & Westport

We all headed up to lovely Westport to celebrate Elli's 30th. Lots of craic was had and plenty of pints drank. Great town, and we even got to see Matt Molloy of the eponymous pub play a session.

triona's wedding May Sun!!
