May day bank holiday

Last Monday was a glorious day in Ballymena as we set off in the car for carrickfungus, as we reached Doagh the clouds loomed, it turned cold and so did my mood! I was not happy.

After giving off stink about the weather in "the northern ireland med (according to Lindsay)" we decided to bite the bullet and go for a walk around the reservoir. Thankfully the clouds fizzled away and Carrick turned out to have a lovely day too.



Since then the weather has stayed quite good (apart from Friday). This is Reuben enjoying the sunshine and getting a chance to wear his new shorts!

Jacquis visit for nanas 80th birthday

My auntie Jacqui arrived from NY last Tuesday as a surprise for my nana- it was her 80th birthday on 4th May.


Jacqui seemed to have a great time and really enjoyed Reuben! It was so good that the weather was lovely, Reuben even helped papa cut the grass!

Among other things (including a lot of eating) we played the big taboo- this was great fun and jacqui even got a go with bendy bob!!!!




On Saturday we had a party for nana and mums house. It was a lovely evening and nana appreciated her crossword cake!


On Sunday we all (minus Rick because he was working) went to the Dunadry for lunch. Really good meal- of course we had plenty of photo moments outside.




I thought I would also include a picture of Stewart with his hair blonde. His friend Ruth dyed it for him last Wednesday night. It was only this colour for 24 hours but its funny and slightly embarassing!
