Erm, yes, it was a little while ago, and your invitation is not forgotten. In fact, Mrs-FFF-to-be and I are planning a weekend getaway for her birthday in June, and we thought of visiting. But although Ryanair flights to Dublin are cheap, hotels there aren't...
But you are quite right, the situation at Weston as you describe it doesn't seem anything like over here on the other side of the water.
