An Irish Christmas

Well from no entries in ages to 2 in one day!

Today we had Mary around after mass for an Irish Christmas dinner. Mainly it was an excuse to drink on a Sunday and for Emmett to roast a duck. The duck was delicious and it was a great way to spend an afternoon.



Emmett carving his duck delight.



After dinner we all went for a walk through town to photograph the Christmas lights. The lights are hung all through town and many businesses have their own lights as well making the main shopping streets very festive indeed.





I really like the angel photo.





So from Galway in all it's glory, although it's been said many times, many ways, daidi na nollag to you!

Looking spiffing for Christmas

Hello and a merry Christmas season to you all!

We're great, Christmas is coming and we can't wait to get to Edinburgh as we're totally ready for a break. And judging by his duty free request so is Richard.

I took the picture below a couple of nights ago, we need to take a few more as like the giant tree the whole town is covered in lights.



Town is actually really pretty, and so is Emmett because he has a new haircut. Based on what he calls his "no one knows me here" theory he let me cut his hair. So I've never cut hair before but it turns out I've a bit a natural talent for it because I think he looks quite good.



The whole thing started with a serious case of the nervous giggles, neither of us really thought this was good idea. Emmett kept saying things like "that's not how hairdressers do it" and "careful" and putting his glasses on to check on things. All this made me laugh more.



In the end though I was starting to look quite professional in my technique, even Emmett thought so. And the end result...







Ta Da! What a handsome husband!

A very spiffing Christmas to you all!
