Well what a week we had. Leaving home on Saturday lunch time on 18th August 2012, I travelled to Lesley McCourt's with Chaos and Banjo for our annual holiday in Ireland.
We set off about 7pm from Kent to Pembroke in Wales with Chaos, Banjo, Eula, Lesley and me.
Our ferry from Pembroke left at 2am on Sunday morning getting us into Rosslaire at about 7am. We had to drive straight to our first show as this started at 9.30am!!!!

To say we were knackered on the Monday would be an understatement, so we had a leisurely morning, sorting out our new cottage and a visit to the local beach, which became a bit of a habit!!!
The dogs just loved it, the really enjoyed charging about in the waves and retrieving the dummy (which floated!)
