Holidays!!!!!!
so we're back from holidays now, so this post is from the past I suppose. It's nice to post about your holidays but it's not really nice to post while you're on your holidays about your holidays, mind you I do find a little bit of time for Hive on my hols, but not too much, as there is just too much stuff to be doing like exploring the new place that you visited, the pool with the kids, going out for lunch and dinner and all that kind of good stuff. Also keeping 3 kids entertained on holidays is a job in itself, especially when one fractures hia foot one week before you go 🙈🙈
Yep that's right you went he went and did it!! Absolute pain in the hole not least for himself in fairness though. Crutching around in high 30s Celsius is no craic, but his biggest issue was no jumping in the pool. That's his absolute favorite, so I felt very sorry for the poor little soul.
It's not his first rodeo either. Just before our summer holidays last year he broke/fractured a bone in his growth plate on his hand. His brother and himself were playing soccer out the front and he put his hand down to get the ball and his brother gave him one almighty kick and he fractured a bone, so last year jumping in the pool was curtailed too. Next year we'll have to wrap him up in cottonwool before we go away!!
So off we went to Dublin, 2 and bit hour car journey to my work (near airport), taxi to airport and a 3 hour plus wait. We got there very early to allow for Crutchey-Mac-Crutch-Face!
To be honest it was a bit of a game changer. I've never been so stress-free in an airport in my life, it was actually really nice to have all that spare time.
Huge queue for the food....don't care.
People rushing around... haha that won't be us today.
We also had a wheelchair for little legs which meant we got to skip all the queues which was a whole new experience, although that did not include the queues for the food.
It was soon time to board....
But not before one last coffee for Mammy bear...
And one last decent pint of the black stuff for Daddy bear. I don't drink any outside of Ireland. Never.
Up Up and Away!!
Okay folks get ready to line up and fire a few stones at me a few slagings as one of my favorite things about being in an airplane is looking down on the fields below, yeah everyone probably likes to do that. For me though I'm trying to look for golf courses! I love looking at them from the air like a drone trying to figure out which course they are and if I've played them. For other places in the world, I'll try to sos if they look like a good track.
The one you see here is near Dublin airport and it's called St margarets. I'm lucky enough that I've played it probably 10 times. It's a great little track and one of five golf courses where I've had an eagle! Par 5. Drive. Hybrid 3. Putt. Nice!!
That's it for now. Look out for more posts over to coming week or two from our holidays down in the south of Spain.
Adios.
