The course of life can lead you many a place. For me one fork was labelled Ireland, and as it happened on this such journey that was the fork which I took.

When we are young our lives are riddled with 'what-ifs?' There is always the question of what's to come. One of the greatest things about getting older, not that I am there yet, is that the 'what-ifs' turn into understanding and finally your road has a map. This is the story of just such a journey which laid the sketching of a map that I hope to discover in some years after the path has ben tread. But really, when it comes to it, life isn't about knowing where you are going, it is about making sure that you get there in the end.
