I have been very busy and lacking wifi access so no blogging for a few days.

There are some things on this trip that I thought might have been a bit uninteresting, but have reaaly enjoyed everything.

First day we went to the Irish National Stud which is like a botanic garden, so green and beautifully landscaped. the guide was an excitable 20 something, who obviously just adored what he did and was very interesting.  And there in the paddock was Vintage Crop, our 1993 Melb Cup winner, enjoying his retirement.
