"Didn't we have a lovely time the week we went to Ireland"

Some photos of the trip - these will change as soon as more professional ones are made available.

Ready to go!  Lining up at Birmingham airport after checking in.

We had great fun with the baggage and great sighs of relief went up when we came in under weight!

Piled High - Not easy steering the luggage trolley to the hire cars at Belfast International Airport but Rebecca, Emily and Alice seem to be doing well.

On the Beach just outside our cottage in Cloughey. 

We had the use of a cottage for the few days in Northern Ireland and we are so grateful we could all stay together in such a lovely place- thank you.

We couldn't shake this Pixie off!  He followed us everywhere.

Practice took place every morning in the cottage.  not a moan or groan from anyone about this - wow.

A picnic in the Mountains of Mourne.  We had to journey over on the ferry and then Eileen (far left in the picture) guided us to the mountains, took us to a very nice hotel for coffee while the players shopped and then home for dinner!  Eileen had 17 people for dinner the day before and there were about 17 of us for dinner on this day - what a star! Thank you very much Eileen.
