One of my dearest friends ever, who lives on the other side of the world, was in Ireland. I had to go and see her. I hadn't seen her for 5 years. Thanks to Facebook we rarely even email.
Well, after 10 mins of surprise, not knowing quite where to begin, those 5 years melted away. It was the same as ever.
So, having not visited the Emerald Isle in a long time I was expecting to write a post talking about where we ate, what we saw, etc. etc., but you know what.........
...it didn't matter.
We pretty much talked for the whole 4 days. Ireland was a backdrop - and a pretty one at that - but we'd have been just as happy in a student flat for that time.
On returning home I feel refreshed, and my priorities have been reassessed. I've just got to remember them now! Because the material things don't matter. Its about looking after what you've already got. Something I tend to lose sight of.
Ok, I caved, here are a few pics of the weekend.
One of the amazing Irish stew I had which was served in a loaf of bread (there was mash too as if there weren't carbs enough in the picture!)
Also spent Sunday in the beautiful Wicklow mountains. This picture captures it.
