More trips to the beach, the irish country life museum..Willowbrook caravan park, Ballaghaderreen

An art exhibition around the lake at the countrylife 

Museum, clothes washed up on a beach in the west of ireland....hung on a line.

Willowbrook park. We were the only people staying there. Thorben learned to ride a bike with no stabilisers here. 

Thorben had honey on brown bread every morning with granny and granddad as his second breakfast.

Pussy Jim Rush ...my parents cat came away in their caravan with them.

Car trouble..Achill Beach

Achill Beach, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful Mountains down to the sea shore....

You needed a wind breaker though as it was very windy. Our car broke down on the holidays we had to get a new starter motor for it. So that combined with poor weather made us not camp at achill but just visit for a day. We will definitely go back when the kids are older.

Rosserk Abbey, Enniscrone Beach, Ross Beach, Downpatrick Head...

Holidays are exhausting for kids and Adults

Ross Beach all to ourselves even with life guards

Downpatrick Head surroundings from our car it was very windy.

Steffen took Jonas up to see the head and the blowhole. I was

 afraid the smallers would blow off the cliff as it was very very windy.

Juno was delighted to be on a beach, she had her

first paddle in the wild atlantic

Playing with hurley sticks as guns in the

Belleek Caravan Park, Co. Mayo

It has been raining and windy since we arrived yesterday, we are booked in for 7 nights, hoping to get to a beach when the weather improves. The pair are still in good spirits wearing sunglasses despite the rain, see windows, colouring in and playing boards games with Daddy see below.

Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon

We stayed in Lough Key caravan park for 3 nights. This was our pitch number 21 under the trees. We got pitch 10 first which was too steep we couldnt push the caravan up it.

Elke made friends with a boy with long blonde hair called tirsten.  This is the road outside our pitch. We took the boat trip around the lake and went to Boyle church to Patrick Pyes painting The Glory Foretold.

Here is the pedal assist bike we hired and trailer for 42 euros for the day, well worth it. Myself and Steffen took turns cycling  around the woodland trails with elke and axel.

Aunty Margs visit, permaculture garden tour, entertaining 5!

My sister margaret visiting from the states with my aunty Nora. They are holding my cousin Anne maries gorgeous twins.

I couldnt find any pictures of Marg except this one, they must be on a different camera card.

My other sister Rebecca with Jonas and Steffen.

A forest garden i went to visit in Bray with Suzie Cahns Permaculture Design Course, inspiring truely.

Richard Webb our host, a really knowledgeable man.

I loved his stream that turned into a swale, it brought water to his outdoor veg  and tunnel. It was really beautiful. A bit too much lawn for my liking.

A picture of myself and Steffen 20 years ago. We love this picture it captures the love we felt very well.

We made fairy doors when it was raining outside yesterday morning.

The bag of all things crafty is on the table.

This morning, playing with the cars. Axel and Thorben.
