The Gathering of the Clan-No Not like Highlander
After arriving in Dublin, looking around for a while and sampling some Irish food, we heeded south the county cork and the town of Youghal where the clan of mills reside. It’s in the south of the country and we travelled through some spectacular landscape. It’s not often a place lives up the the exact expectations you have but so …

It Smells like Puberty Around Here-Ewww
It been pretty hot lately and the children have been spending plenty of time under water and so haven’t really be worrying too much about actual bathing, you know like with soap and forget about putting deodorant on.
