Hello everyone,

Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone who voted for me in last month's CafeTalk Awards, I really appreciate you taking the time to vote and write comments. I didn't end up winning any awards is time but I appreciate your votes all the same! 

Secondly, I wanted to advise that I will be taking a one week vacation between August 12th and August 19th. I will travel to the west coast of Ireland to Connemara to see family, have any of you visited there before? The scenery is sometimes described as 'rugged' and the west coast of Ireland faces the Atlantic Ocean so on sunny days the beaches look stunning but it's very deceiving since the water is always freezing!

My schedule is open from August 20th. I will still be online during my holiday so I will still be able to accept bookings.

I hope everyone has a nice Obon week!

Best wishes,

Ruth
