Icelandic Ash

Couldn't get to Ireland today. Ash cloud, closed airport, etc. Bummer. And damn Ryanair will only refund the leg of the journey cancelled from ash, i.e. we can't get to Ireland, but we'll have to pay for the flight home, even though the trip was booked as a return flight and they won't drop us in Derry... I really hope this doesn't become a common problem. I think I'll take mum to Arran Island tomorrow for the day. One holiday for another. Last time I was there there was still snow on the ground so I reckon it'll be beaut now it's Spring.
