June

Today, 1st of June is the start of our Summer here in Ireland.  A disappointing start, I might add, as it's been pouring rain for most of this bank holiday weekend. We Irish are a bit obsessed with the weather, we hope and pray for some fine sunny weather over the Summer months dv!

(As children my Father used to call it the "Fairy Thimble"). 

However, there is so much to look forward to like our forthcoming holidays in France (well one has to ensure that one gets an adequate amount of sunshine before the long cold winter months start again!). Also there are family gatherings/barbecues and picnic days out to plan and look forward to.
