The calm before the storm


Hello all, this is our first post and probably will be the least exciting one. We have said goodbye to all our friends in Brussels and Manchester (and Cafe Belga our favourite bar pictured).









(The mountains of Mourne, Newcastle Co. Down - Marty's backyard view!)

We are currently back in Ireland preparing for our Big Trip that gets underway on Monday 2nd April. The time has flown while we've been back in Ireland and we only have 3 full days left here now, NERVOUS....

The prospect of experiencing the sights and sounds of India, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Oz, New Zealand, China and Japan is all very exciting (and a wee bit daunting). We are going to party around the world :)

Marty, keep it coming! It’s good to see how you both are getting on and where you are especially when “we” are tied up with the penguin.

The very best

Hi there Susan and Marty,

It sounds like your time there has been enriching and life-affirming already and you've only been away about 2 weeks, although it probably feels like ages.

Had a nice trip away there with Gorka to Catalonia, comprising mountain, beach and city - not exactly the world but good for the soul nonetheless.

Hope you're havin a good ol relax there in Goa... Ol xxx
