Part Two of our reunion, we were all hiking (or really just a slippery walk) in the Mourne mountains. We drove there in four cars, and in a lot of clothing. It was great though, the fresh mountain air and the lovely scenery.
We walked all the way up to the Mourne wall and took some pictures of us there. Not all of us made it that far though, only Dad Bowen, Ed, Phillip, Rachel, Pete and Gill. It was built during the first world war to create employment. (oh the days when men still had honour and needed to work for money, not just have it handed out.)
Afterwards we had a pick nick by the cars and drove home. Donovan was rather frustrated by this as he had to drive as slow as the slowest follower - we all followed him as he knew the way. It was a lovely trip, I am glad that we did it.
Thank you to all the Bowen's who had to go to great lengths to be here, we understand that it took a lot of time off work and money to achieve. I know it was well worth it though. And thank you to Hotel Eva and Hotel Gillian for all your work, but Eva the most for the delicious Christmas day dinner. (yum, yum)
