Retreat to Mayo

This week Dave and I took a few days out of our routine to travel down to Co.Mayo and visit Alice in her new digs by the lake.
A four hour journey gets you from here to there, just about bearable at 29 weeks pregnant. But it is so worth it.
I have always loved the countryside, being my playing field for most of my childhood, and here you are surrounded by it.
Alice's house sits overlooking a large lake, with direct access at the bottom of her garden. Inside, the house can be described as 'early Ikea', being originally built as a Swiss family's holiday cottage. Its open plan layout, large windows and central wood burning stove make it a very peaceful and enjoyable place to be.
Looking forward to seeing it again in the summer, with an extra small person on board!
