My holiday has come and gone and I was slightly worried. (this was my first holiday with my family in nearly 16 years and it was the very first time my boyfriend had spent this much time with them) The pressure was on.
But after two weeks of holiday bliss, I have to admit it was one of the best holidays I have ever had....
Saying good bye to Dublin Airport & grey cloudy skies....

Mum's Snack HourWhen my parents arrived a few days after myself & mysister, Mum quickly
introduced her drinks hour. Every day we were called to her apartment late afternoon
- Prosecco for the girls - frosted glasses of beers for the boys. Oh & her 'snacks' - you could find crisps, chocolate or my personal fave the most amazing glazed ring donuts (a hint of lemon in these delicious darlings)
By the way it was during this hour that we arranged where we were to go for dinner ha!
Hilarious...we still managed to think of food:)
