After a week of looking for a new home we decided to rent 'Bob's Lodge'. I liked the name because it just sounded so bloody Australian. It also had 4 bedrooms and one nice living room downstairs, sep laundry, eat in kitchen and 3 loos. It is smallish (compared to our Junction St mansion) but cosy and set in the picturesque country side of Rathmoylan (pr.'Ratwaylan' by the old locals...yeah bit confusing I know but that is Irish for you). We have a lovely 5 minute drive to the village of Dunmore East where we have most amenities on offer. Im and Shea catch a bus to school each day to Waterford City from the village and Mac and Niamh both go to school down there. It is a beautiful fishing village (we have been told it is a drinking town with a fishing problem).
The highlight of our new home is our friendly neighbours Jane and Ciaran Bailey who have 3 kids (Laurie 12, Ella 9, and Eoin 4). Laurie is in Niamh's class and has welcomed her into her lovely group of friends. Ella and Eoin are also great value and Imogen has become their babysitter earning great money. We have had a few fun nights with the Bailey's and plenty more to come no doubt.
They also have the cutest dog ever Flossy...see photo of Flossy guarding Bob's Lodge below.
