H&H in Ulster

Just got back from a week with my dad and Joan in Ballywalter County Down Northern Ireand. We had an incredibly relaxing time and even managed to have an eveing out without the boys for the first time in six months. It was a celebration for us to have made to half a year after being through so much already with our little boys. We had run ourselves into the ground so it was so nice not to have to cook or wash up for a whole week. Of course we both got ill for 36 hour periods as our bodies relaxed but the sea air reinvigourated us and has filled us with precious stamina to face the next six months.
