Have a good time Joh. And Emily. Where are you thinking of heading? I would keep away from Donaghadee and Newtownards and Killyleagh areas. The water was over the wall and within a few feet of apartments in Killyleagh this afternoon. Really looked frightening. Two boats were higher than the railings and it looked so odd as I walked past them yesterday and they were about 12 feet beneath me.

Am at a loose end myself so who knows what I might do. Motorhome is at the side of the house so might take myself off as Liz is having some of her cronies in as the MIL is here. Think I would be better out of the way.
