dateline dublin: updated

As my previous very short post referred, I'm in Dublin awaiting Nel's arrival. I left her this morning in HUll and headed for the 7.33, not to Leeds, but this time to Manchester Airport, where I took a flight to dublin.
For reasons that are entirely consistent with our evergreen ability to make life absurdly complicated, Nel left home an hour later, headed up to Newcastle and took a seperate flight. Also to Dublin. From here, we are picking up a car, driving down the coast to Greystones where my parents honeymooned, then driving across country to Cork where we meet Little Bunny Foo Foo, and his family for a short holiday.
For reasons that are very Irish, the directions we have from Bunny Foo Foo is "Just drive to Oven, outside Cork, and ask where the Sheehans live. If you get lost , just go to the pub. Someone'll probably call us to let us know you've arrived. But we'll probably be there anyway"

So, as soon as Nel arrives, that's it, we'll be off. That is if I am allowed to hiure a rental car on the out of date license I have.
