From the North

We have just returned from nearly six weeks away in the northern hemisphere. This first post is a brief overview of the whole trip.
We broke the journey in Singapore, just the other side of the equator.
There was good food throughout. This is our first lunch in Singapore.
The main reason for the journey was to catch up with family.
This is the Welsh countryside near Newport (Pembs).
No visit to Wales is complete without sampling the local wines.
We walked through some of the spectacular scenery along the Pembrokeshire coast
and also the rolling countryside of Devon. This is Exmoor with Dartmoor in the distance.
The north Devon coast can be almost as dramatic as Pembrokshire.
Then across the sea to old Ireland. We took Noreen’s mother back to the place she grew up in. Our children were keen to find out more about their roots. Sam and Bex discovered they liked Guinness.
We had some wonderful times together as a family, exploring, walking, eating and drinking.
Further details to follow....
