An Unusual Spring & Summer

The spring and summer of 2020 has been like no other, there we were all motoring along happily, and suddenly “bam!” and it all comes to a shuddering holt due to Covid-19 Coronavirus. It was a special year for me and Sharon and we had loads of travel planned, Cuba, Portugal, Brazil, Spain all now cancelled or postponed. But that really diminishes into insignificance when you look at the hit of the country and the world in the costs of lives and peoples’ well being. The further economic hit will also be devastating for many people.

Luckily all our loved ones and friends are safe and healthy, we get to spend loads of time with our girls who fortunately can all work from home. Slowly things are opening up again, and the weather has been great, but for many it has been very stressful and difficult time. Hopefully we will escape from future waves. In the mean time it has been a chance to learn new skills, try new ways of communicating with friends, family and work. We are lucky to live in Malahide with a castle, gardens, park, marina, and beaches on our doorsteps. Here are a few lockdown photos from Malahide Castle and Gardens. I hope you all remain safe.
