In the middle of last year my brother just younger than me got married. It’s not like I need much of an excuse to travel, but this was a little bit special. I hadn’t been on an oversea big trip in a few years which made me both nervous and excited at the same time. I thought I would share part of that holiday with you.

Stop 1: UK and Global Gathering

I had wanted to do ‘Global Gathering’ for years. I downloaded the essential mixes of dj’s live at GG, and heard the punters going off partying like there was no tomorrow at an air field smack bang in the middle of Shakespears countryside. It’s held each year outside of Staftford Upon Avon, and this year it was my turn to go! I can’t explain how excited I was. It was mad fun, and saw everything that I wanted to see. I didn’t take many photo’s because I was too busy dancing, and talking to randoms.

Stop 2: The Wedding, and the Irish Countryside.

Everything you have heard about Ireland is true. They are as friendly as people say, they are as drunk all the time as people say, and they are as hard to understand when they are excited as say a drunk Irishman can. My Brother only set one rule. If ‘ANYONE’ buys you a beer, you must return the favour, as it’s considered rude not to. Fair enough I thought to myself, that’s a rule i can live with. What I didn’t realise was, how hard it was going to be actually enforce it.

Had an amazing time. The hightlights included:

• Galway Races
• Banquet at Banratty Castle
• Beautiful Irish Countryside
• Little Irish men that talk to you so fast you can’t understand a word.
• Irish Bands
• Lots of Guinness (i mean LOTS)
• The Reception – one of the best weddings i’ve ever been to
