Ireland in the Summer....

It's been raining.


And raining. And raining. But hey, we are in Ireland - what do you expect? We've had great weather up until now, so I am not really complaining.


Our time in Ireland is really more about catching up with friends and family than sightseeing, although we wanted to show James and Lauren something of the countryside.


So far, we have spent most of our time visiting people to catch up. It's been 'great craic'. We have caught up with a fistful of the Montague, Devlin and Horisk Families, and it's like we never left hre 13 years ago. We have also shown the kids a lot of the haunts around Gervahey and Omagh that their Grandad used to frequent.



Today we took the opportunity to drive up from Omagh to the Antrim Coast. We saw the Giant's Causeway, which was a highlight with the children. Anna Horisk came along with us too, which made the trip even more pleasant. We lunched at the Causeway Hotel, then drove home the long way via Glenshesk. All up a peasat day.



Tomorrow is the event we came here for - the wedding of Kieran Horisk's daughter Kiera and her fiance' Martin. 12 of the 13 Horisk siblings are in town for the event, so it's a grea time to be here.
