Isobel and the Boys in Bundoran, Ireland - 24th August 2025
It's supposed to be the big family holiday in Bundoran, on the north-west coast of Ireland. However, a kidney infection puts Nosher in hospital for five days, only getting out about a week before the trip which means it's too risky to travel, and so Isobel - who was already in Ireland for a Robbie Williams gig - flies back early to pick the boys up and continue with the holiday whilst Nosher stays at home. And it's just as well really, as the kidney infection comes back after a few days, which would have been interesting as that required an additional four days in hospital. So this is a completely vicarious set, made up of photos from both Isobel's and Fred's phones as well as some pinched from the family WhatsApp group - but it suitably includes some dereliction, in particular when Fred decides to explore a Bundoran "crack house". It's almost like being there...
