Just got home, what an absolutely unforgettable trip

Decompression going on here too.
If you get a chance to go on a rally organised by alex, grab it with both hands (especially if chris "Non-Sequitur Man" is going along too), I can't remember having laughed quite so hard for quite so many days in a row before. All trousers now soaking wet, in very good causes, and head full of fabulous memories - cliffs and bays and mountains and music and castles and seals and crazy wind and paddling and sun and puppies and wasps and harbours and ditches and about six billion rainbows

Couldn't bear to go to bed at night, we crammed every moment of every day full to bursting with every aspect of Ireland we could find.
So lovely to meet ian and dave and steve and lynda - and to spend time with Bill and June, the occupants of The Other Car, who were absolute bricks and very sporting about the, er, scenic nature of some of our more impressive detours

They aren't forum members, unfortunately.
I'm not going to bother getting the van finished now, I'm going to get Alex to drive me everywhere in Fenchurch, who is everything you could possibly want in a Minor - zippy, fun, responsive, smooth and totally reliable.
