So, some picture updates. This is pretty much everything I could fit on my 4 days in Paris, riding a bike through the city. It's Molin Rouge, The Louvre, Mona Lisa, Notre dame, Eifel tower, Modern art museum etc etc. Beautiful city. AND, catching up with three friends made the sray a lot better as well=)

So. Dad and I have survived our Wales trip. We are now sitting in Liverpool waiting for our flights. Mine goes first. A few more hrs and I will land in PARIS! Dad will fly home to Stockholm. Been at John Lennons pub and admired the current Beatles week for a while. Very good.

Started early today and were meant to do a pretty easy hike. But since it's Wales and since the sun was shining, we decided to hike up Wales's highest Mountain, Snowdon Mt.

So yet another childhood dream has been experienced and is now reaching its end. I've had an amazing time at the farm.

The lake crossing today went on without major problems. We all stayed on the sadle but got soaked anyway in the canter ofcourse. Nicola and Morgen were standing at the shore with my camera so finally I got some pics. Me on Paddy in the front, then a German lady on Guiness, a lovely Japaneese lady on Sarsfield, a French on Toibin and another German on Whiskey. Alone with no back guide this week. Pretty big trust level I must say for a girl without orientation sense, haha! Anyway, enjoy the pics of my last group:

So. Just realized I haven't been writing for a while. Last week was good. We had a few incidents and I had the most annoying American lady in my group. Unfortunately she had a very fast horse as well, which meant she was always riding behind me as I was the leader of the group. And she kept going on about herself, her boyfriend, her ex husbands three ex viwes and their new husbands etc etc etc. I wish I could bring my ipod or earplugs on the trail sometimes. I also wished for myself that her horse would occasionally pretend to be lame so she would get a new, much much slower horse. Nothing of this could happen ofcourse. On Sunday lunch. I never thought the week was going to end. But eventually. It did.

GARDAÍ have described the seizure of €40,000 worth of cannabis plants at a woodland area in Whitegate as “the largest find of growing cannabis in the area”. 
The find of 100 plants was made last week at the townland of Ballyhinch, near Cregg Cross and was part of an intelligence-led operation involving gardaí from Scariff and Killaloe. The haul is the second sizeable drug seizure in the county in a week following a €25,000 worth of cannabis resin found at a house in Ennis last Tuesday. 
Inspector John O’Sullivan of the Killaloe Garda District said the plants were discovered growing in a wooded area adjacent to a house in Ballyhinch, Whitegate. 
“The plants were reaching maturity and there was evidence some of them were partially harvested. They were obviously there for a good while and were being looked after as they need constant watering. It is the largest seizure in our area for some time,” Inspector O’Sullivan noted. 
Sergeant Joe Fallon who was co-ordinating the operation with Garda Darren McLoughlin at Scariff Garda Station explained that while there had been seizures of cultivated cannabis in the East Clare area in the past this was “the largest find of actual growing cannabis in the area”. 
He explained that in the past, plants had been located but the plants had been harvested and this seizure had “thwarted” the drug being harvested and sold on. The sergeant described the outdoor grow house as a “well-organised, well-hidden and well-concealed” operation, adding that gardaí were now pursuing “an open line of inquiry”. 
He explained that they had ruled out certain individuals from the investigation but were anxious to speak with anyone locally who may have noticed suspicious activity in the area or who may be able to help them with their enquiries. 
The area where this haul was found is located approximately two miles outside Whitegate on the Portumna side of Cregg Cross.

Gaaahhhh! It's only Wednesday night. Two more days of the horror week left! We are all practicing our buissness smile as much as we possible can manage. Even my horse for the first few days of the week (Hurricane) is practising his:
