Dublin update...
First thing is that Eric Bagan who took over Venice Art Tours in April, is having a good year and reports many Americans and others are taking his tours in Venezia....the website is www.venice-art-tours.com . Remember that Eric accepts Visa and Amex cards along with their bearers. Eric is a likeable, educated chap with a good sense of humour.

Here in Dublin, it has been sunny for the last month. We have seen no rain since we arrived in Dublin 3 months ago. Well, 2 hours of it a few weeks ago, but so what ?

Laurie is working on a new book while her previous one, "AT SEA", will be published in the UK 1 July. Available on Amazon.

Dined in the garden last night with daughter, son/in/law, grandson and son in law-s parents.

Our friend Vic Faulkner from Amersham visited us while he was on a golfing holiday here...we ate at Davy Byrnes Restaurant/pub....made famous by J. Joyce.

Lots of Americans in Dublin now,/ hearing their voices everywhere.
