Hello Hello - It's Good To Be Back :+)

[sunny-dave]

Apologies to anyone who has been trying to get in touch over the last few weeks (by virtually any means) - a month in/on Dartmoor and then two and a bit weeks in Ireland has stretched Mr Tesco's ability to provide a usable mobile signal so far beyond breaking point that the twang of snapped elastic could probably be heard in Timbuktu (not that Mr Tesco could provide a signal there either I suspect).

The Irish trip was a blast - managed to get to see our old friend 'headwreck' who sends her love to all, and survived a meeting with the estimable gness and her assorted family members with only a minor hangover and aching ribs from laughing too much.

Anyhoo - I'm back in the safety of Sunny (yes really) Warwickshire and will be gradually picking up the threads of my social life ... anyone fancy a pint?

who are you again?

[Peter Pedant]

oh dear
what did you do to get sent to Dartmoor ?

You mean you went volunarily ?

[sunny-dave]

I have no idea who I actually am any more - but I do love Dartmoor :)

[joggerjayne]

You were in prison, Dave?

[cupid04]

Welcome back to the Funny farm.x

[sunny-dave]

Dartmoor exists as a place as well as a prison JJ - and very lovely it is too - probably my favourite part of England :+)

[ummmm]

Did you cross the border into Tipp? Tipp is way better than Kilkenny :-)

[Tilly2]

It's nice to see you back, Dave. I've missed you.

[sunny-dave]

Didn't get into Tipp this time, ummmm.

Mayo was my favourite for the current trip - wonderful place and astonishingly friendly people.

[sunny-dave]

Thanks Tilly :)

[Psybbo]

Welcome back, did you enjoy the Guinness and the craic?

[ummmm]

I'll be in Mayo next month :-)

[excelsior-1]

a warm welcome back dave

i'd love a pint, thank you - i've had a lousy shift at work, and need to unwind

[sunny-dave]

The Guinness seems to get better the further west you go - Achill Island takes some beating :)

Once you get used to the concept that everyone is going to talk to you it's great - I just hope I don't get arrested for wittering at strangers in pubs back here ...

[mccfluff]

you haven't so far.... :-) (well as far as i know....)

[ummmm]

Did you go on the Atlantic drive?

[sunny-dave]

Pull up a chair and have a cold one, excel - sounds like you need it ...

[sunny-dave]

Yes - the Atlantic Drive is amazing - I have a camera full of photos just from that day :)

[ummmm]

I remember when Achill used to get completely cut off from the main land every high tide.

Welcome back Dave x
