Ireland has held a special place in my heart for a long time. There is something about this country that captures my heart and has a sense of home about it. From the charisma and charm of the Irish people, the rich beauty of the countryside or the deep history that runs from the North to the Republic. It's a fantastic place that is unlike anywhere else that I've been in the world. So packing up our things and heading north towards Knock was a bit of a bummer knowing our Irish trek fest has come to an end. But all good things come to an end allowing for another off shoot of the journey.
Our next leg of travel had us landing in Bristol, England to visit one of my dearest friends. Sue and I have known each other a long time and her road in life brought her to Bradford Upon Avon. Tourism is non existent here with winding cobbled stoned roads, plenty of tea houses and heaps of pubs. No Americans...except that is, for Mark and Sue : ) and now Erin and Taylor. Yay!
We headed out for a walk around town and made our way to the Castle, a local pub, where they serve up a pretty amazing plate of fish and chips. Bam! SO GOOD! In a split second being with Sue is one of those relationships that no time has past since we were last together and all is good with the world. I feel very blessed and fortunate for our friendship. Good people, strong ties are important. Sometimes it takes some sorting and sifting, but with patience the right ones stick around. Sue is one of those and, for that, I'm grateful.
