Tipperary

On Saturday we went for a leisurely drive around our area and ended up stopping for a pub dinner at the Tipperary Inn, which is home to a song called, "It's a long way to Tipperary". The chorus goes something like, "It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary, To the sweetest girl I know. Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square, It's a long, long way to Tipperary, But my heart lies there". Quite popular during the first world war, apparently. That's Heather out front feeling awkward, posing in yet another picture...

Heather and Josh I love this blog. I love watching you discover and consider things, seeing things with new eyes here which are just so much part and parcel of my life that i forget that warm beer and rounds of its a long way to tip might catch the attention of others.
hope we can catch up soon
love Roz
Thanks Roz!
You'll have to teach us the tune- right now it's hovering somewhere between a Christmas carol and yankee doodle.
Help!
Love Heather
