Queen Elizabeth clears way for our pending visit

From 2 June, Randall will be re-joining the Well-Aged Walking Group to spend 9 days walking the Ring of Kerry in County Ciarrai. Today Tuesday we have sent in the Queen and her Consort to check that preparations for the walking group have been made to Her satisfaction. The Well-Aged Walking Group is not likely to need the 10,000 security staff that have been deployed to Ireland for the English but then again we know what happened to Michael Collins many years ago and we do not want such scenes to be repeated.

We have been checking the weather daily now by having Killarney and Galway markers on our home desktops but they are yet to vary from Grey/light rain over the week or so we have been watching. Maybe the computer weather is different as the Queen looked okay weatherwise as she was inspecting the guard at Dublin Castle just a few minutes ago.

And finally at the other end of our planning spectrum, we have now booked our accommodation in Bedford UK where we hope to do a spot of boat people tracking in late July. Our Convict William was convicted there in 1827. Obtuse link but I could not help thinking that maybe Dominique Strauss-Kahn will be on a boat heading to Australia soon given his US troubles lately. Christmas Island or New Guinea might be a good place for Dominique to lie low for a while.
