  1. Wow! You were born in Drogheda! That’s where my family are from! I haven’t been back there in years.

    I love that you can just pop over to France to do your grocery shopping. And the fact that you were listening to The Best of REM while writing this makes me happy as they are one of my favourite bands. They were the soundtrack to my youth. Xxx

    1. Really? My family still lives there. The town has changed a lot, mostly for the better. You should make a trip back with your children.
      Thanks for the tag. I really enjoyed writing this post.
