As I mentioned we had a family get together last weekend, when the plan to visit the Saltee Islands was thwarted by wind.

But, wind aside, it was glorious weather and we were able to fully enjoy the freshly groomed Ballyduff.

It was a wonderful weekend and I will go just so far as to say that the gathering was held in my honour to mark the midway point betweeen two significant birthdays.

So, instead of watching birds and seals.......

we eat..........
