We've finished up our six week holiday here on the Dingle peninsula in West Kerry and what an absolute joy it has been.
Whilst we are both heading back to exciting projects it is hard not to feel oh.... if only.
Whilst it might not be the best time of the year to give a sense of what a permanent life here would be like - best weather, lots to do, many people around to meet with - we were able to make that decision. The winter months will be different and when it rains it is challenging to find enough to keep busy.
And we were even able to test the Irish health system when I damaged my knee. Needing an MRI scan I got that within a week. The knee has a tear in the cartilage and the usual wear and tear. So lots of exercises and weight loss should put off the need for surgery. All in all the service was excellent albeit it that I either had to pay for it (200Euros for MRI) or it was all free because of my E111 card.
Himself is back catching the 8.02 from BJ into town with all the delays and joys of that whilst I am "working from home in Dublin". Before we know it we'll be back into the swing of London life and enjoying it.
Slan Abhaile as they say in West Kerry
