After Erin’s 6 months in Dublin in 2021, Jenny and Glenn had spent four weeks in Ireland and Northern Ireland – seeing where Erin had been and chasing some family history on Jenny’s side.

In 2024 it was Rianna’s turn to study in Copenhagen, The plan was that I spend Christmas 2024 with her and my cousin Sharlene and bring her home in early January. But her enrolling in the next semester meant she would not be coming home as planning. That was not going to cancel my trip – rather it enabled it to be extended a little.
