Away Again?



Not long after returning from walking the Pembrokeshire coast and we are off again, this time to Northern Ireland. Nigel had booked travel and hotels.
'Um why are we going away again so soon?'
In fact, Northern Ireland is a trip I've been lobbying for for years. Although in our youth this land was all over our TV screens, torn by violence and civil war, this is a moment of comparative peace, an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful landscape, wildlife and history. 
It turned out Nigel had made the arrangements while I was in grief over the death of my mother as a gift to me.
But why now?
The trip will coincide with our 40th wedding anniversary - a chance to celebrate.
So although I feel a bit sheepish about going way on holiday again, I think I'll just say 'Thank you very much, Nigel.'
