Going to Ireland

At Melbourne Airport before our big trip

The radiant St Aidan's Cathedral of Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, Ireland. This Cathedral is the one chosen for the Easter Mass to be broadcast throughout Ireland on RTE, the national broadcaster - sure to be webcast, too, if you're interested in seeing this cathedral in all its glory

The bride and her father proceed down the aisle

We went to Ireland for a wedding! It was a great wedding, despite Boy's and my tummy troubles, and I sang two classical numbers for my cousin's nuptials - Ave Maria and Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring. I had never performed classically in my life, and after a couple of lessons from Tom's cousin, Peter, I was all set to sing my heart out in the beautiful cathedral that is St Aidan's. I was quite proud of my performance and the bride and groom were very pleased with having a singer for their day - it was quite a privilege, really, to be indulged the way I was (I mean, sheesh, first time and I get to do it in nothing less than a cathedral!)! It was quite a celebration and the weekend finished with drinks in Rory's (groom) local pub, the Antique, before we headed off for the rest of our South Ireland road trip. More about that later...
