Fred catches a paper aeroplane
A Trip to Manorhamilton, County Leitrim, Ireland - 11th August 2021
Fern's on a sleep-over but hasn't bought any shoes, so we head in to Sligo for a small shopping spree to rectify the situation. After that, we drive over to Philly and Davida's near Manorhamilton for a family barbeque, which Nosher bunks off for a quiet couple of hours to go and look around Manorhamilton - where we'd stayed a couple of years ago - in order to see what has closed down and what was still around. Finally, we're off to Streedagh Beach for another few hours.
