Fiddly Dee Potaties

Travel is a funny thing. What determines when and where you go?

Our first trip this year takes us to the Emerald Isles, land awash with clover, little men with beards and pointed hats, foamy dark ale and fiddly dee potaties.

Honourable daughter No 2, often called Katie Potatie when she was little, is rapidly approaching a significant birthday.

The big 3-0. We’d love to surprise her with a birthday visit. Problem is, she is working in London, with plans to spend her birthday weekend in Nice, France.

In what must have been a very ‘fluid’ moment, we booked tickets to join them, sneaking in a visit to Ireland beforehand.

Our plan……25 days in Ireland, fly to Nice the day before Katie’s birthday and SURPRISE!

We hadn’t stopped to think how we were going to pretend we were still in Australia!

What’s our chances of pulling it off?

    I think you’re underestimating your daughter’s powers! She’s pretty observant, I should think!

    The date on above says it’s still 2019!!! Huh?

    What date do you take off?
