Our 2 newest arrivals, watched over by Celtic Spirit (Bertie!)
As ever it has been a bit hectic at home, for all we are only running weekend tours we have had a heap of jobs to get our coaches ready for next season also Celtic Princess is heading over to Englandat the beginning of December to have some overdue bodywork damage fixed. At the same time as that visit we have a lovely occasion to attend – my parents’ golden wedding anniversary so really looking forward to that.
We finally have our new car on the road and it is going to be operated as a limo – watch this space for more info, we are absolutely delighted with it though and in case you forgot it is a lovely Mercedes E Class. Our garage is rather full at the moment as we have had another arrival, regular readers might remember that I like classic cars and in fact I’am a bit of a sucker for lost causes! I heard about an old Fiat 600 lying in a shed from a friend and needless to say I was tempted to go and have a look and there lying forlorn and covered in dust was the cutest little 1967 Fiat! For all it is cute it has suffered from some amount of corrosion and would once have only been fit for scrap however I came to the conclusion that if it had survived 40 odd years it really deserved to be saved and so – you guessed it! A deal was done and we went to collect my new prize on a trailer behind Celtic princess last week, it is now safely in our garage and unbelievably I managed to start it the other day so it has been added to my list of “to do” jobs!
I’am actually writing this in Blarney on Sunday and having an interesting day as we have had the foulest of weather this week and much of the UK and Ireland is flooded at the moment indeed Cork (where I’am heading this afternoon) has been very badly affected so I will let you know what it is like!
We are currently making plans for next year and we are heading to Dublin next week for a meeting with our friends from Irish Rail with a view to launching a new product from Dublin that will offer great value – so as ever, watch this space!
Also next weekend marks our last 2009 tour so if you thinking of a trip to Blarney book for next Sunday and you will get a special deal if your quick!
A quick update, visited Cork and floods in the area were bad but thankfully the City Centre was OK on Sunday!
