NO PHOTOS!!!
Lads, I'm so sorry that there are no photos of the Christmas Party in Renshaws or of the Christmas Retreat or of the hugely successful and not at all mortifying Carol Singing, but I lost my camera! I found it again there though, so there'll be loads of pics up of the Backdoor Inn night and of New Year's eve night! Wreck er! - Aisling B!0 Comments 168 weeks
