Back to Paris

Back after a few lovely weeks in Ireland. It was great. Highlight was the baptism of baby Emma Mary who is second child of my niece, Sinéad and her husband Kevin. The family BBQ comes a close second. It was also good to get a visit to Belfast and also to Aughrim (Co Wicklow). Apart from those trips I was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home by my sister, Helen. Good also to be back!           AT

Summer in Bray

Arrived in Bray, Co, Wicklow, Ireland, for a summer break. It is always good to be back home. Was able to visit relatives and friends in the past few days and say a prayer at Parents' grave in Redford, Greystones. Hope to get a ticket to see Tyrone v Dublin at Croke Park on Saturday evening next. Baptising my grand-niece on Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to a family gathering at that time. May even get a game of golf  while home. Keeping in touch with Paris and further away by wonders of email and Internet. A T
