Last week Saturday we all headed up to Gatwick and flew out to Cork, getting in early that evening. On arrival, Claire picked us all up and we headed back to theirs that night. The following morning, after breakfast, we drove down west and spent the afternoon around the house.

That week was fairly easy going, with a visit to Rineen Woods, Castletownshend beach, down to Baltimore to La Jolie Brise and a few more visits down to Castletownshend pier and beach.

This past Saturday we had Ian's Christening at Castletownshend Church, which we kept fairly low-key with just a few of us there on the day. Afterwards we took a drive along the coast and stopped at Castletownshend Beach and down by the pier.

Yesterday we visited Lough Hyne in the morning and Teresa came by in the afternoon and drove us up to Cork where we stayed the night with Claire and Michael and got the flight back home this morning.
