Sun, sea, sand, sky, white wine (too much of it), sunburn, cold nights, warm evenings, long drives, short flights, oysters, chocolate, old friends, young family, spinach, the black stuff, the red stuff, the right stuff, a lot of laughter, a few tears, hellos and goodbyes, socks and sandals (but not together, obviously), forty shades of green, bright lights, street fights (only kidding), dairy cows, funny accents, silly hats, designer shoes, no smoking …
Guess where I’ve been?

I couldn’t possibly say – but did you kiss the Blarney Stone, bejasus?

Skegness?

This post reminded me of precis exercises at school; particularly the juxtaposition of the black stuff and the red stuff.
I’d say “Enjoy”, but it’d be redundant since you clearly are!

It really doesn’t matter, I want to be there inasmuch as I’ve not had a holiday in a while.
Glad you’re having fun.
Cheers.

I’ve been wondering where you’ve been, actually.
France. Or Italy.

Except PM has given it away, and I know exactly what that means. You met up in PV without me, didn’t you? I was going to write “I’ll never forgive either of you”, but I’ve learnt from experience that you have to say that kind of thing in person or on the phone. Emailing is so open to people not picking up the tone of voice, and thinking you mean it.

Definitely Ireland!!! Sounds fabulous! Hope you are having fun!
September 19, 2009 at 10:19 pm |
Ireland? Must be!
September 20, 2009 at 10:02 am |
Ah go on. Tell us more, why don’t you.

Mauritius.

Clairenbridge in the west of Ireland for the oyster Festival. Am I right?

Potty: you are very clever. The closest until Grannymar stepped in! (And no, I didn’t kiss the Blarney Stone …).
Iota: it does look very France or Italy, no? Temperatures certainly were: definately bikini weather, which definately not typical of Blarney country and more like Mauritius Rummuser.
Grannymar wins. not quite Clairenbridge (though we did enjoy delicious oysters there the same day). Actually the Bay of Galway.
Rob, you are very good at keeping secrets given you were there too! x

Damn – I got here too late, I was going to guess Ireland. honest!
Sounds fabulous – nourishment for the soul, and the tummy!
September 21, 2009 at 2:36 pm |
Grannymar always wins. Sob, sob, sob.
September 21, 2009 at 6:20 pm |
Ok, so 2 days late on this one.
As I was reading the post, I kept thinking….Cornwall.
But Ireland sounds lovely and looks stunning.
September 21, 2009 at 7:47 pm |
ummmm tanga in the winter? (apart from dairy cows and no smoking…) no clue. but god it sounds lovely.! x j

Did you buy more shoes? And did it rain? I’m looking forward to the photos of the silly hats;o) Or was it silly shoes & designer hats???……..
September 22, 2009 at 10:16 pm |
Late, but obviously Ireland 🙂 How beautiful.

Is there such a thing as “too much wine”? Oh yes, lost my head… I’ve definitely had too much wine on occasion. Hope you had a great time.

I cam across your story and couldn’t lift my eye off the screen till i am done.
I have seen Ireland and most of it is really green and beautifull.
The Pictures I see here shows it is Africa, and west side of it, probably north of south Africa. There is a good weather most of the year.
Cheers,
