Tuesday 17th May


Woken up to brighter skies - isn't it always the way just as one is leaving....


The news for the day - had an email from the Biegels last night to say there could be chaos in Dublin due to the Queen visiting, so we will just play things as they happen. They do not know if they will be at the airport, as the Queen arrives just before us!!


This morning we have learned of two bombs overnight - oh dear haven't we endured all this stuff before. However, the event will not stop us from visiting Ireland and these 'thugs' or whatever one wants to call them, are not going to deter us. We have an extremely good signal up on the 7th floor, so thought would drop a message on the blog in case we do not get through tonight. I am also wondering if our UK USB will operate in Ireland, so if there are no comms for the next couple of days - listen in for when we get back to Heathrow, as we have about a 5 hour wait before catching the plane to KL. The trip fast approaching the end....... what memories and wonderful people we have met in the last 6 weeks. Catch you later.

With thanks.

A woman called Margaret got in touch,
to arrange a meeting, thank you so much.

A meal, a chat was the plan
a gathering of the Stewart Clan.

Pictures, fun, memories & laughter,
drinks, food & a wee tear after.

Old friends & new chatted away,
the evening will be remembered for
many a day.

Thank you Margaret for taking the time,
must stop now - running out of rhyme.


So happy to meet you both, safe journey back home, best wishes to you & your family.

Aw the best

Linda, Jim & family
