I started working in Ireland in March 2003 at the Baltimore Harbour Hotel, and have been there ever since.
The first year we had a young girl by the name of Jenny working in the bar, with whom I went on like 'a house on fire' - as she called it!
On the end of the year she fall in love with Jo and fall pregnant and I was the first to know. She did not want to get married before she could affort a nice wedding, which she had at our hotel in July 2006.
She always called me her second mother and incisted that I MUST be all day at her wedding.
Here comes the bride. Her flowerbouquet and the decoration in the Church were  Orchids. She looked so happy after she signed the register. The   Vintage Car was supplied by a regular custmer of ours.
At the hotel some  Family-Photos were taken and also one of  me and the couple.
They had a lovely  
Wedding-Cake and Dominique was glad his parents are finally ONE happy family.
 They opened the    Dance for all to join and the band was fantastic.We all had a lot of fun Dancing...
Good luck and God's blessing to the couple and Dominique for their  future...
With all my love...
 

On the begin of this year two colleges of mine and I went to Clonakilty (Ireland) to visit the Miniland. I was there before and back then I toke a trip on the Mini-train, but this time all we had time for is taking a picture of Zuzana and me in front of the train.  Marek posed with the Train_conductor. This beautifull model of a  light-tower we found inside the park. There was a model of Ford Charles from Kinsale.
 Marek toke this picture as a Memory for me. A model was there from the  Church in Clonakilty.
Later we visited the original  Church and we passed by the Wishing-Well in town.
It was a fine day and with lovely company.

Glad I 'm back on the net. First you people had trouble and than myself. I want to start sharing with you some more pictures I could not download right previously, like the Church in Baltimore and the  Waterfront in the Harbor.
One day I captured this rainbow starting at the one side over our hotel ending on the other.
The next story is rather sad, because those church-windows are history. They fell victim to arson on the begin of this year and so did the rest of  Restaurant. I loved sitting on top and I loved this painting of  the lovers. Luckely nobody got hurt in this fire.
I love to share this piture of a typical Irsh Cottagewith you. Is it not adorable?
And lastly here is the picture of the Euro-Flag flower-bed, I finnaly downloaded right. Ufffff...
Thats it for today folks...

I was born in Germany and immigrated in 1975 to South-Afrca with my family. Since 2003 I work in Ireland and ave decided to retire here. Nence I would like to show you my new home before I take you on more of my holidays. I live on the most southern-tip of Ireland and work at the Baltimore HH. The hotel has a  Leasure Centre which is free for guest and staff and I love the  jaccusi in there. The
view from Hotel onto the sea is breathtaking, even more so from the 3rd floor. The surrounding waters and cliffs are worth while visting and our most famous landmark is the  Beacon; as in the beacon in a mousetrapp, located on a hill before the ships enter the bay. The bay is just 5 minutes walk away down to the village. And this is what Baltimore looks like taken from a ferry. With the other  pictures I like to share I have problems open them up. Till next time...

When I was sending my first few entrys, I made some mistakes or had trouble downloading some pictures. So I kept on trying and I hope in time I get the hang of it. In my post 'Amsterdam' one of my nicest picture did not come out and so I send you now the swans. Looking at my album from Amsterdam, I saw that I have so many pictures and like to share some more wth you, but I could not make up my mind which ones to send, so I settled for  Art in the park and  the Euro-flag flowerbed as well as  Flower-display. Rainbow-colors also captured my eyes.  I also noticed that a picture I send by mistake had my thumb in, and so I add  dutch cottage again without my thumb.  
Lastly but not leastly I'll try to attach ones more a picture that I downloaded 4 times but none of them wanted to open up.
Here is:
Raindrops are falling on my head...
Till the next trip/holiday...

In january 2006 I was in South-Africa to visit my kids, and together we went a few days to stay in a nature-reserve called Klein-Kariba. I loved the scenery with the wooden houses by the lake  wooden houses. The lake was full of  Sea-roses , and the Golden-showers were bloomimg beautifully. The monkeys were minding their Monkey-business. Some people were  catching a lift to see the park in its splendour. There was a waterfall and we saw a zebra crossing the road. The last night we had a wet barbeque , but we did not let this spoil our fun. The flash-lights reflected in the raindrops and others made blobs on the camera lense.

When I was in Amstedam in April 2005, I toke those pictures. I hope you will enjoy them as much I do, and they will not couse such a stir as the pictures from yesterday, because there is no guesswork to be done...
