Okay Folks Looks Like I have 20 tonnes of Gravel to Shift with my Dad at the cottage in Donegal this saturday

I know Frank1200 put his room up for grabs on Saturday night and I grabbed it

That was until this long weekend break where I've discovered my father has been hiding his Dodgy ticker giving him Gyp on the quiet

So As much as I'd love to get down and meet all you folks I'm think it would be wise for me to do this for my Folks and keep him company at the request of my Mother

IF you could PM Frank1200 to confirm you are taking the room and sort everything with him

Frank If there are no takers I'll square the price of the room with you as soon as possible

BEst regards to one and All and Really Really sorry to miss this one! :( :( :(

But I'd NEVER forgive myself if Himself was to do permanent damage!
 
Hiya Jay..

Sorry to hear that you won't be in Tipp, we were looking forward to a few beers with you.

We only have one Mum and Dad and its important to look after them when they need it. Anyway you can brush up on your Donegal gaelic while your there.

Best wishes,

Brian and Geraldine
 
If you and he can leave it to a day next week i'll come over and give you a hand.. that way job done and you can still go to Tipp:D
 
spare room saturday night

if you still can't make it. I will take the room. I have pm'd frank 1200. in the event that you can go, there will be no problem.
I will bring a cardboard box. pm me if needs be
 
De Crowe if you arrange with FRank and he's happy I will definitely not be there my friend

I have a mountain of gravel that needs spread

I had a couple of days up there with them but I did more when they left yesterday than all week as I didn't want him stressing and straining too much till he's seen the Doc

So I shifted about 200 blocks and a pallet of bricks before heading home never mind the 2 tonnes of gravel while he was away doing messages.

Needless to say but I slept well last night when I finally got over LOL :aidan

I'm not sure where I'll post them but I have some lovely shots of the area tween the Lough and the RAilway and a swan her mate and 4 cygnets emerging from the wee river
 
The Benfits of a Hard days work are that it's appreciated by my folks

Which entails a good feed and a few beers in the evening and a strum of me Guitar and a Bash of Me Bhodran Must get back to practising me Flute again Ahhhhhhh the relaxation :aidan :aidan :aidan

Also a wee dander in the afternoon at the beach at Keadue or KinnCasslagh Or down thru the bog and trees to the 2 wee hidden cottages on his land and on over the old railway to the lough

I got a wierd feeling of intruding as I walked thru here! To think Folks lived way out here so many years ago!
