In January we sent our youngest daughter away to Ireland where she looked after 3 adorable kids, made international friends and travelled a lot all over the country as an aupair.
Since then life has been busy - and now she already is back after 7 months of Irish adventures. She flew back to Germany on Sunday but stayed with friends for the night on her way home. On Monday I was waiting for her at the station. Usually we stay in the car when we collect someone at the station, but knowing that our daughter had far too much luggage on her shoulders, I went up to the platform.
Arriving home, there was a very special welcome from our 4 pawed neighbour:
While I had little laundry during the past months, this is changing now again:
And after living of Guinness on the green isle, our youngest was thirsty for a Bavarian beer - without alcohol at noon.
Later on she enjoyed my home made chocolate cake
As I remember well my homesickness for Ireland after returning to Germany when I was our daughter's age, I bought some essential food:
Today we had real Irish food for dinner: real Irish potatoes with ham and cabbage.
Now we get all the information about the every day life and adventures bit by bit - and I forget all my house work.
