England, Ireland .... on vacation!

We've been to England last week and had a great time catching up with family and friends. Ian got to hang out with Kizzie, Tilly and Jessica (all pictured) as well as dress up as 'Fireman Sam' as he visited the West Yorks Fire Brigade open day. Ian's uniform was made especially for him in Thailand - doesn't he look the part?!

In Ireland we've headed west to the beautiful town of Westport and spent a lovely day touring on Friday, with a visit to Kylemore Abbey with Barbara's family (pictured) as well as spending the day in the gorgeous victorian gardens at the Abbey discovering new plants and mushrooms, which Ian found fascinating.
