Just base yourself in Galway and travel up and down the coast, can't go wrong.

Remember, no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

Re: Challenge: Visiting the Folks whilst avoiding staying in the UK as much as you ca

I have a cunning plan

I am desparate to go back for a visit...

She REALLY wouldnt appreciate it...

Take me with you, send her to Paris to shop whilst I pretend to be the new wife that you didnt mention.... Because it was all so messy... The divorce.... Too painful to talk about... Meet the trade in model.. Kinda thing...

You can pop over to Paris for nookie when you need to... And I can go visit MY rellies... And we can tell Your family that we are visiting elsewhere for a couple of days....

i wont charge you for this fabulous favour... You'll just have to meet all my expenses...

I like to fly first class.
