On The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine...

It's the Blue Ridge Mountains of Belmullet! A fun day with an old friend of Yummy Mummy's, who has settled as far from South Dublin as possible - without living in Letrim...

You know there's something different when "a clump of trees" is the vital identifying mark for uncertain travellers! Still, it's one hell of a view in every direction once you're "over the bridge"!

Then on for the excitement of Erris United U-12 v Balinrobe, a cracking 3-3 game with a real capacity crowd. Unfortunately, this conflicted with our chance to see the "biggest bouncy castle in Ireland" which had completely taken over the middle of the town, and blocked off the way back to the hotel, where Princess decided to "Strop 'til you drop!" in my care, while Yummy Mummy, Monkey Boy and our hosts played barbarians at the gates of the local society wedding!

How much more exciting can tomorrow get?

PS: Anyone found guilty of humming U2 songs at the sight of the thumbnail will be summarily executed unsubscribed forced to listen to "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" in its entirety...
