Tea Time in Tipperary

January 26, 2016

One of the great joys of our annual trip to Ireland is getting together with photographer friends. This year Jim and I made sure to route our October 2015 return trip to the Dublin airport through Kilkenny so that we could visit Maria Dunphy and meet her new baby daughter, Mia, who was born in June.

What a beautiful baby Mia is, and so well behaved! She was happy to come along with Maria and me to meet up with our Tipperary photographer friends Mary McCullough, from Nenah, and Sinéad Ní Riain, from Thurles, where we stopped in at the Source Cafe located in the Thurles Art Centre. While we enjoyed afternoon tea, accompanied by lovely pastries and desserts, Mia kept herself happily entertained . . .

  

. . . until she fell asleep on Sinéad’s lap — no doubt out of boredom with our conversation :-).

Before we left, I finally got a chance for Mary to introduce me in person to Leo, who had to wait for us in the car park. I had “met” Leo via Skype, but he was even cuter in person.

Thanks to Mary for grabbing this photo of Maria, Mia, and me. What a lovely afternoon with friends!
