Hey family! What an amazing trip you've had - been reading up on your past entries - it'll be a big come down for you all going home I imagine. I have a pic of Evan by my computer - where he's looking up into an aquarium tank - so he's keeping a watchful eye on my work!
Perhaps for your next family excursion you might come Down Under...? ; )
lucky you... Hi guys! I am reading your blog and I have to stop myself booking a flight to Portugal for next week-end... I wonder what I am doing here in rainy and blizzard cold England... Have a lovely time. How long are you staying in Portugal? I might after all book a flight... Lots of love, Isabelle xx
Hello trailer park family! I can't believe how much Evan has grown - still as cute as ever though! Things all good way down here in NZ - it's supposed to be Spring, but you wouldn't know it here in Wellington cos it's been so cold! Oh well, I'd like to think that means we'll get a nice hot, long Summer : ) I guess it's the opposite of what you're experiencing over there! Love the photos - can't wait to see more! Is Evan loving it?
Anyway, I'm still rocking it at the Radio Network - it's busy, but I get lots of perks. Drinking beer at my desk on a Friday arvo is right at the top! I'm heading to Kuala Lumpur for 10 days at the end of October - with ma and pa - for my granddad's 90th birthday, so really looking forward to that. Otherwise, business as usual. Will "comment" again soon : ) for now, lots of love, Mel x
Still missing you! Just a short note to say we're still loving the blog. Obviously it's great news about Gary and Emer. Saw the little chisler (as he still has no name!) yesterday and he's an absolute beauty. Evan's going to have competition!!
Ber and meself were away for the weekend in Westport and had a great time visited Achill, and drove through Louisburg via Cross Strand to Leenane. Fabulous! Howard - Bohs beat Pat's in the quarter finals of the FAI Cup on Monday with only 10 men for 48 minutes! Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
Lots of love
Bob and Ber!
You all look so happy! Boy, you guys cheer me up.
I don't think I've ever seen a family look so completely and utterly happy. It warms the heart.
Mind you, France, and the south of France, always makes me happy and I can't wait to get there, next year hopefully, with Connie and Charlotte who is coming on in leaps and bounds and who we will permit to marry Evan if, of course, he is stinking rich.
Hope you watch the match tonight. Hope we win. Pity you won't still be in France if we do.
Looking forward to seeing you when you get home. Great thing about that is, you won't be boring us with the holiday snaps. We've seen them already!
Help Get your rugby gear Howie. Get your rugby gear Evan. Damn it, get your rugby gear Orla. The Argies beat the French. We're in trouble.
Glad you're all having a ball. Make it a rugby ball.
Hang around and support the lads.
Cheers from us three.

Well well well Great to hear how you are getting on. Has Howard ever thought about taking over from Craig Whathisface on the travel programme?
Small bit of news - I got a gig in the Courtyard in the Piano Bar. Gary's playing on the 15th and I'm playing on the 16th!! Would have been hilarious to have us both on the same night. Anyway, will let you know how it goes.
WE NEED MORE NEWS ABOUT EVAN!!!!
Enjoy!

Nana File Delighted to hear you are all having such a great time! Glad Evan is enjoying himself. Missing him loads. Hope he's not on the wine!!! Just back from closing up Cahore. Lovely weather this weekend. Have to find that map yet. Will do it this week. Will ring you soon. Save travelling.
Lots of luv, hugs and kisses XXXXX Mamser H
God, I envy you all Well there's s thing. When we met you in the club a few weeks ago, we kind of dashed off because our boss wanted to go to bed. So we didn't even know you were doing this. I am an utter and total Francofile,, I just adore the place. So if you're going anywhere near Montpellier or the Languedoc in general, let me know. I want to be even more jealous than I am already. I'll link your blog from mine today. All the best. We mean that. The very, very best of luck to you all.
My God! Still trying to figure out ho wrote that! Is it Orla who sometimes wounds like Howard? Or is it Howard, who sometines sounds like Orla? Scarey!!!!
Love the little fella. Missing him already.
We are an Irish family on route as far south from the irish SUMMER as we can possibly get !! We are travelling in a 1997 Fendt motorhome myself, the wife and our two and a half year old boss. Its our first try at being "trailer trash" and so far its been great!
