Welcome to Deirdre

Hello,
We are a family of 5 from County Limerick, Ireland.
Myself, Deirdre, I work from home; my partner is a machine driver. Our oldest daughter, 21, is a mechanic. We have an 11-year-old who is pony mad and show jumps, and we have a 5-year-old girl who is pony mad and soccer mad. Both girls attend school during the week in a very small school. We enjoy motorsports, equestrian sports, and enjoy weekends away doing the sports we love.
