Just returned from a spectacular trip round the UK! Buddy has come back safe and well from kennels - hooray!

A million thanks go to
Peggy from
Organic Growing Pains who took me out for a day when I visited Cobh in Ireland last week. Here we are, in person, sharing the experience of digging some spuds... in Ireland! What a great day!

We went for a trip to
Blarney Castle where I kissed the
Blarney Stone. Here is a rare glimpse of Matron herself, bending over backwards over the castle walls. Do you think this will give me the gift of eloquence? Will it make me blog more often?
