"Great Irish Escape" by Monty Hall.

I like Monty, hope his book is good.
Miss L-B has just invited me out for a bacon roll tomorrow.
I agreed,....roads permitting!

Hi, Rusty!
I don't know Monty Hall?
Who is he?
And how does he connect to the Wild Atlantic Way?
Speaking of which.... my Geography knowledge is very poor, as you know, but isn't Galway along that stretch of coast?
Remember the friend whom I mentioned the other day - the one who said that he was "sweating cobs"?
Well.......his brother has just moved back to Ireland, and he and his wife are setting up a B & B business in Galway!
I was thinking that when my daughter and family do their tour of the Wild Atlantic Way, they could maybe go and stay with him.
Yes, a bacon roll sounds good for tomorrow morning -weather permitting!

Hello, Elle!

Yes, Galway is on the Wild Atlantic Way, between Mayo and Clare.
Your daughter may "watch the sun go down on Galway Bay"!
I told Miss L-B we will go if the roads are OK.

Hi, Rusty!
I have been reading, and watching, your links.......thank you!
Donegal is indeed beautiful!
No wonder you like to go back ...and that Monty Halls and his family like to spend their holidays there!
I hope my daughter does eventually get to do her tour.... I know her husband also wants to visit family .
Here is a very young Bing also "see (ing) the sun go down on Galway Bay"......

Good morning, Rusty!
We have a very heavy hard frost here... but a glorious day!

Are you still set for your trip to the Pine Cone...or has the weather defeated you?

Good morning, Elle!

Leaving it now until I return.

Anne Bradford has nym under corporal, too.
Do you know anything about nym?

I'll say no more in case you have not started it yet.

Hi, Rusty!
It is good that you are still able to go to the Pine Cone!
I hope Miss L-B is a cautious driver , though, in these adverse conditions?

No Shakespeare at my school!
