You can go storm chasing in Wexford.

But bring your own genny or leave it at home if you want for the candle light experience.
Very romantic.

I'd rather get away from storms , gennies and candles if possible

Do you ever go on holidays

Is that an offer?

Days off around the country generally do me.
If I was idle I'd go mad.

Do you do all the milkings? You dont have to be idle on a holiday.

Wouldnt it be an interesting swop if you were to live in Whelans house and milk her cows for a few days and she do the same in your place . A change is as good as rest they say

There's work and there's work.
No offence Whelan but your place sounds like too much work.

I miss an odd milking during the year and then the cows are dry for 2 months in the winter. In the winter you'd only only really work every second day anyway. Bedding and feeding and done in a few hours.

If i was milking all year round I'd imagine it would be fairly monotonous for myself.

Now back to trips to Las Vegas.

An idle holiday doing nothing other than sitting on a sunlounger sounds like my idea of hell. We did a loop of the whole island here over the week, took in several cities, day up the mountains etc alongside the usual beach stuff.

2 days, 3 days max and I'd be getting fidgety.

But I look forward to those 2 or 3 days:)

Sorta. Learning how to milk cows and having a holiday at the same time.
Cows (even if black & white ones, still cows) and shopping=win win holiday.
