Day 28 - Evening at the Shannons'

 Day 28 - Evening at the Shannons'

Last night's sunset - a kiss goodbye!

We have to start today with a recall of last night. Once again the Shannon family shared their warmth and welcome with me,  as we got stuck into pizzas and a nice bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape. That wine always reminds me of my brother Terry (RIP) who introduced me to that wine in Canberra a very long time ago.  So we drank a toast to Terry amongst other things.

Patrick and Moira and our lovely wine!



The pizzas were great then we had the entertainment.  Ellen and Patrick  were once again demonstrating  their talent! I'll  add a few videos below.  







It was a lovely evening  and the kids were just delightful. I've been very blessed to be included in their family circle.

See new post about today - October 1.

  1. A beautiful sunset and dinner with your relatives followed by a true Irish floor show, what more could you want. ☘️

  2. Love that sunset, it put on a nice show for your last night. Very talented kids, wanted to get up and do the jig with them, even the dog got into the act again. Love Patrick’s curly hair, reminds of Joshua’s before Sheralee chopped it off. Have a safe trip back. Just so you know you are coming back to winter, it’s bucketing down at the moment, not cold though. Col

    1. I thought of you when the music was on. I could just imagine you doing a few jigs. The sunsets have been magnificent. I will really miss them and the ocean.

  4. What a blessing for you to have the family so willing to share their music and friendship Moira! I loved the clips and thought the dog was about to perform for you as well! Safe travels home. I will miss your blogs which I have read each evening as I had my cuppa, Annette.
