Wow, I'm actually pretty sad about leaving Ireland. I had my last Guinness just before getting on the bus to head to Dublin port. Savouring that fresh Irish flavour that you won't find anywhere else but here. The bus from Enniskillen to Dublin was magical this morning. The snow set for painting like scene. Soft, quiet & still. As dawn broke and the light creeped through the fog the landscape had a diamond sparkle and warm wintery glow. The purple, pink & ...

Today was a little bit exciting because it snowed last night. Just before going to bed we looked outside & there was a blanket of snow. When I got up this morning, after eating my potato bread, I went and played in the snow. It was great fun, you could run & slide along the paths because they were so icy. One of the neighbours saw me out there 'just like a kid'. It's my first real snow experience, of course I'm going to make the most out of it. Have met m...

Dublin is great. I walked through Trinity college and wanted to enroll just so I could stay here and live in the city for a while.

So I headed off for Ireland today. Caught the train to Holyhead port and then Ferry across to Dublin. It was a long trip but lots to look at along the way. Plus I had my iPad to play music & keep entertained. They use Euros in Ireland, pounds in northern Ireland only. Some poor girl didn't have Euros to catch the bus & there was no where at the port to get out money or exchange it. I bought he bus ticket, the poor thing was crying. Hopefully if I get stuc...

Really liking Manchester. I caught the Tram out to Bury the other day, then into the town centre on Friday. It's great here. Plus I am staying with great people who are a blast to be around. If things work out well & I can get a job I might be staying here for a little bit. Going to see disturbed on the 12th of December too. Before that the plan is to head to Ireland for a week. Everything is so close & easy to get around, unlike home. Still getting used ...
