:rof: @ # 1 ^^^ awesome.

Glad to hear that you are settled and that the family is liking the new place!

I went to Ireland when I was in High School and have awesome memories of it other than the food (much like England in that department huh? heheh). A friend and I were staying with an Irish family, and their food was scary.
Everything else was great! The family members were amazingly patient with us (language barrier), and they even ordered pizza for us the last day! :)

The Guiness factory in Dublin is nice too :D

oh and Irish high school kids who play soccer at the local park are extremely violent and don't like to be beaten by the french hahaha

+1 on the pics...

Thanx for the pics Nelly :thumbup:
Looks like you're staying in a nice house, with a big shed, love the tractor is that for gritting the roads in the winter :thumbup:
It sucks to hear you're getting hit for 3-400 euro's extra per month, that makes a big hole in your take home pay :( ,we have to pay more for our pensions etc but it's not as bad as in Ireland (yet).
Sounds like you've got a nice ride to work, but going by your pic of the road I wouldn't say they were in a good condition (or is this just in front of the house?).
Looking forward to seeing a few ride pics :thumbup:

Ride safely and post lots (once again :thumbup:)

Hi Martin,

That's just the road in front of the house, it is about 4K to the main road. Funny thing is the tractor was sold today to a a guy who restores them. It hasn't moved in 30 years but rolled on to a trailer without a squeak.

Update, my farther in law came around this morning. We have just painted the house and now the boarder walls match so they are grey and not orange.

Hey, glad to hear you're settling in OK. I'mn looking forward to some more posts on how you like it as time goes on a bit. I'd love to live over there - my wife's dad was born and raised in Dublin so she would love to live on the emerald isle as well.
 
Welcome back and welcome to the good life in the Emerald Isle.

Thanks mate,

I think Gary Moore is a great musician. Thanks for the video.
Have you been having the shocking wet weather that were getting at the moment?
I would love to meet up when you get a free moment. I have already covered more miles for pleasure on my bike over here than I ever managed in the UK.
