A year or so ago, I was joined by the next generation - my niece. There's something rather intoxicating about rolling!

When we moved to Dublin we were walking distance from Phenix Park and there they have a cross on top of a big hill. I rolled down it with my two boys much to my husband horror! :-) LOL Thanks for the memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564079992654847695.post-26565075538366470642012-08-07T19:18:10.546+01:002012-08-07T19:18:10.546+01:00This is brilliant!
