It's been very cold at night since we got back! 5 to 7 degrees over night, 10 to 12 in day. We had our first frost on Wednesday morning - you should have seen the steam coming off the clothes as I hung them on the line!
Some people have asked if I've got the washing machine sorted out yet! Denise set it while she was her - I put it on '5' & it finishes on '9' an hour & quarter later! It is still hot when finished - even HOTTER since Mark had stove serviced & turned it up.
I still cannot get the creases out of my trousers since the first H_O_T wash!!!! I've steam ironed them, sprayed them with water & steam ironed them but still creased!!!!!
Wed we on a circular drive to Florencecourt Mansion House - built by Cole's when he became the Earl of Enniskillen. Named after hid French wife, Florence. It's now closed (for maintenance). They have a BIG Halloween Ball there!!!!! Can't believe how much Halloween stuff EVERYWHERE - even ordinary places advertising & selling fireworks!
We also did a tour of the Marble Arch limestone caves (near here) - quite impressive!
Tomorrow we are going to church with Molly in the morning then to visit Eric Johnston to see if he can shed any more light on my mysterious Johnston connection!!!!
Next Mon to Thurs we are going to Monaghan (an hour away, in the Republic!) for a Genealogy Course. Great speakers on (general) Irish research & records as well as Monaghan. (Hope to get 'the good oil to pass on to my Irish Interest Group at home!!!) Also 'field trips'!!!! to castles.
Warren rang & spoke to his lovely niece, Melissa (at the reception) who married Ryan on Saturday. he also spoke to sisters, Alison (Melissa's mum) & Lynne; & Clare.
Photos - while we were taking a photo of the view, the sheep got out & took off down the road!

Looks like you are fitting right in, and having the time of your life. Those Wimbles know how to live
