Michael Stubbs Mallow ARA

Two of our members Michael and Jean Stubbs visited their son Alan and his family in Edinburgh recently and had a lovely time there. They visited lots of the beautiful sights in this lovely city. "Dobbies Tropical Butterfly  World", Edinburgh Castle, The Art Museum, The Edinburgh Museum of Natural history and lots of other places. They went to the Edinburgh V Munster Rugby match at Murrayfield Stadium. Munster won 33-3!
 While there they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary with a lovely meal at the Laird and Dog hotel.They also went on a fishing trip and caught some trout. Edinburgh is a lovely city and well worth a visit.
