I don't do jokes very well I am afraid Tony.

I'm very envious of you Mr Dwarf.  I've only been to Ireland once, and that was the best Christmas present I've ever had - two days at the Punchestown National Hunt Festival.   Our flights cost £9.99 each way, courtesy of than nice Irish bloke who owns a horse or two, Ryan Eyre!  I loved the place from the minute we landed, as a horse racing fanatic it was dreamland, even the ladies on the supermarket tills would give you a tip or two for the day's racing.  I'd love to return, and if I do the thing that will decide the dates will be the racing fixtures.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that you have some interest in the horses.  Wexford don't race until next month, but Tramore have their summer festival starting at the weekend, which isn't that far from you.  I would love to visit some of the minor Irish racecourses, racing is a religion over there and it's the only religion I'm keen on!

It’s not you @upthepies it’s me being a bit thick.

Envious here too, that looks a lovely place to have a family break away from city life.
