Easter Weekend
I had a very nice Easter. The weather is unseasonably good at the moment and I went down the country in order to get full enjoyment of it.
I went home to my parents in Clare. Its a beautiful place, and we went up to Lahinch (by the sea). COnsidreing the holiday season and all it wasn't too busy.
I actually went for a dip in the sea. Now considering that about 9 months ago I would have been too terrified to do that, I think this was an achievement. Although it is a stupid achievement due to the sudden onset of hypothermia and the fact that despite the unseasonably good weather I nearly lost toes to frost bite. Yes, the water was cold. I didn't stay in there long. I got wet and ran out. But it was invigorating......

I went to Tipperary to visit my brother. He has a new house out there - well the house is about 200 years old but it's new for my brother, so you get what I'm saying? Its in a very nice location up a mountain. (I have some great pictures from my weekend. When I finally get round to adding a gallery they will be on the "Photos" page.) My brother has a couple of new cars - typical boy, it has to have an engine to be interesting. But it was a nice day.

Then I went to Kerry to visit Jamie's family. That's a great spot too. On the Dingle peninsula, by the sea. And, yes, you've guessed it, I went for a dip. Now remember how cold it was in Lahinch.... It was like I had forgotten how blood stoppingly cold that was and in I went. Agian, invigorating, but my heart nearly stopped from the initialy shock.
The weekend was good. I enjoyed some walks on the beach and meeting up with J's family.

In my 5 days off I managed to cover a good chunk of the country... Hilary on Tour.....
For now I'm back in the office working hard. Until next time.
