Hi there

Okay so I'm rather late on the reply!! I've just joined this site today and wanting to meet people around this area (my husband, daughter and I moved here from Blessington) - here is Arklow by the way. If you're still keen on meeting up that would be great.

Hi Sanbo,
Wow that's a long time. Ireland is a great place, especially if we get weather like Friday and Saturday, although I don't mind the cold at all. I worked up until I had my daughter four months ago and now I'm staying at home with her for a while. As I said we just moved to Arklow two months ago so I don't know anyone here, but apart from that I love Arklow. And yes that butcher is amazing, I couldn't believe I had proper biltong in Ireland the other day :) Do you only have one daughter or other children?

sanbo

i have a son 21yrs and now my daughter. she keeps me on my toes.
are u working in dublin? how come u moved to arklow?

TanD

No I'm not working in Dublin, I used to but not anymore. Staying at home for a while with my daughter. We moved to Arklow because my husband got a job in Wicklow Town.
