Hi lads,

No "news" today, have spent the morning catching up on photos and blogs this Maternity leave is just fantastic. It's a warm spring morning here blue sky and the buds are starting to push forward. Sally is lying on the patio taking up the heat! Looking forward to a whole new genre of photos. LOL

I see you cook sausages like your granny, burn two sides and hope the middle will be be done

Hi guys,

Rosaleen here, can't sleep. More Ducky photos please! Rx

When you're home next you should ask Colin all about his distant O'Hehir cousins who were sent on ships to Australia for none other than (and I am not joking this is on a dept of the taoiseach website)- 'thieving hen food,' 'cow stealing' and 'sheep stealing.' Mind you there were some Combers sent there for larceny so we've no halos to gloat about. Col finished Kane and Abel, he thought you'd like to know.

Thanks for dropping the wine and chocolates up to the house, there was no need but nice one anyway. Enjoy the rest of Aus and then Asia...

Whats all this nonsense about, we've got pictures of slushy melted snow and runny noses, far more interesting than some mountains and long necked sheep, see them any time.

Beard is coming on nice by the way. Don't stop believing!

Just joshing with ya bro! Oh god, Engerland has ruined us! We'll be getting excited about the royal wedding any day now. Hope its still all fun and games, let us know where you'll be for Christmas!

Later

Can ye e-mail me the name of the hotel ye are staying in for Christmas please?

It's saturday morning and it's all white and snowing in Kilkenny. PS I agree with Ger more photos with ye in them!

Hey guys! Sounds like ye are having a great time altogether! More pictures with ye in them though please! Hope ur feeling better Comber! Enjoy the trek! Miss Ya Red! x

Hi guys, look like ye are having a fab time! All's quiet here, same ole, same ole. 3 babies were born in your absence- Janet had a boy, Lorraine had a boy and Grace had a girl. Keep posting! Ais x
