Flying Visit

After our trip to Ireland, Dara added a couple of days and popped across to see the Beard Clan in Hook - here's Tony, Betty, Jenny and Dara in a pic taken by Christel. All are well; Dara's Mum is really fit and 86 years young. Tim and I were glad to get Dara back...the cuisine has definitely improved! Love Chip

Hockey Champs!

Breaking news from the sports world: Tim's team won the League Championship tonight in a thrilling game worthy of the final. With 90 seconds to go and trailing 3-4 they pulled their goalie and scored the equaliser a few second before the full time buzzer. They then scored the 5-4 winner in sudden death overtime and Tim got to do the victory lap with the cup. Very cool way to end his League days!
