.......a gang of two on one bike were our first visitors! The ground breakers, they looked rough and tough but they scrubbed up really well to go out for a pint and then to dinner. We loved seeing them and talking NZ talk...come on you lot we'll show you a good time! "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" - however Vogels by the same name, does not consitute Vogels, as we know it......see pix - a second grade Molenburg at best!! Can't even disguise it with Vegemite. Never mind there is nothing like a Guiness, so we guess it's about swings and roundabouts.
Now the other thing is...'Irish Mist'....it's really funny and we don't understand it and anybody we ask looks askance....on a beautiful sunshiney afternoon there is this wonderful very diffused light, like a fine mist softening everything - does anyone know what it is????? The other news of the day is....we have decided to leave Ireland....it's been great and we have loved it, but....we've been offered the job of complete management and after thinking long and hard decided that we didn't come all this way to begin a new career. We would have to commit to it as a complete 24/7 package and we've got too much to see and do, 5 years may not be enough! Anyway we've told Janey we'll leave next week as Rod's visa is up on the 22nd. Janey is coming up with all sorts of schemes to keep us here and it's great to know we've done a great job and are valued. The place can start business now and so we are happy. We will leave part of ourselves here and are secure in the knowledge that we will always have a home and a job in Ireland if and when we want it. And so to bed ....AND it's still light....miss you all heaps and love hearing from you xxxxxxx
