A trip to Dublin in the October school break, we all had the week off to spend time with the kids. We had a great week. A trip to the cinema to see Monsters University. We went to the zoo and also to the dead zoo shown above. The stuffed animals are always a hit with the boys.....We went to the national art musem too.

Myself and Jonas went to a GIY meeting with a friend Mark. It was held in Carrig Dulra, owned by Suzie and Mike. Their chciken house above and composting toilet behind it.

A friend Adrienne came for dinner one Sunday. She is an old friend who knew myself and Steffen before we met each other, over 18 years old now.She brought her dog Twiggy too who is a sweet dog.

We made pasta for a sunday dinner with the folks, it was tasty a big success.The pasta maker was a present for my birthday from Steffen.

We visited our friends Eileen and Dave in Cloughjordan. Look at their beautiful house handmade by them from cob.....It is a dream house. I am really attracted to the community living of Cloughjordan. Are we living the dream?
