OK-as promised earlier,here is a bit (and I mean a small bit) of video from our recent excursion to the Nep a couple of weeks ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6B8tiigd54 

Aimed at Irish Mammy and Freebird at the time,and also to anyone in US,UK,China,Mongolia,Siberia oh and Mayo (he he) and to anyone else not making it back for Christmas,you were cheered on. And to anyone who will make it back,well Happy Christmas! And see you on the 27th!!!

And here's another little bit...

Seems all a bit of a blur now-I mostly remember getting really wet on the way home!

HD-can't remember if you got any video? Slap it up here if so,or even on your own (cool) picture site...

Wow, Floydman, You've just done something nobody else has...

You've made me homesick.

I'm definitely going to make it back for one of the christmas reunions. Hopefully next year before Rachel starts in school. (start in Feb here)

Thanks so much everyone.

And happy christmas to all of you, wherever you are.

Mins, keep us on our toes with all your fab posts.

Thanks a mill that was lovely now I expect the same footage at the reunion! That was fantastic and also made me homesick.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have a fantastic night on the 27th and I am with you Irish Mammy I really hope to make it home for one of these grand occasions.

Fair play Floyd...and thankfully it's dark enough to hide our blushes..hehehe!! I did get a little bit on my phone and some on my camera but I'd actually forgotten about it till now...I'll transfer it the weekend and stick it up here...

Someone needs to bring a camera with a light on it for the Christmas Re-union..just warn me tho and I'll keep well away from it..hehehe!!

Just got the chance to see your videos of the Nep. GREAT STUFF. Thanks for thinking of all of us in far away places. I have been starved of Dublin accents for so long great listening to them on the clip
