Hi G thank you. You obviously enjoyed hearing about our days out in the rain but as I said in January we gave up because of negative comments and perhaps this is why other people no longer post comments here. It takes time to find photographs and remember where you have been and what the weather was like but thank you anyway for all your nice comments. I hope you get to go to Ireland because it is lovely even though it sometimes rains. R

Comment by: G on 2nd May 2016 at 21:48

Hi Rob if you get in touch I will give you a few ideas ok

Comment by: R&B on 2nd May 2016 at 20:15

Hi G thank you. I'm not sure how many macs we bought because we went quite a few times and it rained a lot but probably 3 or 4. We visited lots of different places but the wettest was probably Killarney. I hope that is OK for you and I am really pleased you like the comments but it is getting harder to think what to write. Rob

Hi RB thank you how many macs did you buy from Ireland Rob I don't think that you know how lucky you are to have such a understanding wife as Beth and I bet she is gorgeous as well myself and most men who are into macs would give anything to be in your shoes can you please email me the details of the place in Ireland I might visit I send you a photo so that you know who you are talking to keep your comments coming really good thanks G

Comment by: R&B on 1st May 2016 at 19:16

Hi G thank you for your nice comments. I think you wanted to hear some more about our holidays and some of the nice things that other people have said to us when we have been out in the rain. It is getting harder to think of new comments to add but when I saw Janice's comment about other people it reminded me about the year we went to County Clare because the lady who owned the cottage there had a mac like ours but I think it had buttons instead of the poppers on ours. I remember she told us the weather forecast wasn't very good and we didn't have to wait very long because it started raining while she was showing us around. I remember we waited for it to stop but I don't think there was any sign of that because in the end the three of us had to go out in the rain together. Normally it is just us and I don't think it will ever happen again. Like the lady at Muckross I think she was pleased that we were ready for bad weather because I remember her saying you look like you were expecting this weather. Rob

Hi Janice it is nice to hear your comments as well thank you and you comment reminded me that that we said we would add another comment for G about our holiday in Ireland. Rob

Comment by: R&B on 1st May 2016 at 18:03

We bought most of ours from Dunnes when we were on holiday in Ireland.

Comment by: Janice on 1st May 2016 at 13:29

Hi RB may I ask were you bought your macs I asked G he sent me a few places online thanks G it's just I like to try what I am purchase on in front of a mirror I sure that you understand that being a lady yourself I suppose that the demand is not there younger girls want something new all the time lovely to chat with you Janice.

Comment by: R&B on 30th April 2016 at 21:54

Absolutely agree Janice plastic macs are ideal for our weather because they fold up so easily and you wouldn't believe how many people have asked us where we got ours from. We can't really understand why the shops stopped selling them and like you hope they come back.

Comment by: Janice on 30th April 2016 at 09:54

Hi I have see a few ladies in plastic macs of late hope they do come back into fashion they are so handy fit into your bag ready for a downpour .

Comment by: G on 21st April 2016 at 21:32

Hi Beth you should have come this week it's been gorgeous hope you come soon

Comment by: R&B on 21st April 2016 at 20:04

Thank you G. We didn't need to pray for rain but some sunshine would have been nice. B

Comment by: G on 20th April 2016 at 19:35

Hi Beth if you were wondering what Betws Y Coed means it's Pray House in the Woods bit of info for you

Comment by: G on 19th April 2016 at 14:19

Hi Beth thanks shame your comments were lost sure I would give you some comment if I was to see you both

Comment by: R&B on 17th April 2016 at 21:32

Hi G thank you for your comment. I think our holidays are a bit quiet to be called adventures but you are right we have had quite a few in the rain and it is nice of you to say how much you enjoy reading about them. You obviously really enjoyed hearing about Betwsy Coed and some of the things that people have said to me when it has been raining so I will try to remember some more and add them. Rob did leave a comment about us going to Wales last year because someone asked about Bodnant Gardens but it wasnt printed but he will add a comment about one of the days when we had really rainy weather for you. Beth

Comment by: G on 15th April 2016 at 14:47

Hi Beth and Rob lets hear more of adventures in the rain sure we would all love to hear them

Comment by: Ken on 8th April 2016 at 15:13

Hi Frank maybe there is a pac a mac fan working for the tv company

Comment by: G on 4th April 2016 at 13:33

Hi R B fantastic thank you what a shame that I missed you in Betws y coed hope that you will email me next time love to meet up with the both of you C A have long gone I think I saw one in Belgium shame but it's the times we live in hope that you give us some more comments really enjoy reading them

Comment by: R&B on 3rd April 2016 at 22:48

Hi G thank you for your nice comment. As I said it doesn't rain everytime we go on holiday but I think someone likes it when it does so if you love the comments about us being out in the rain I think you might get some more. I think you are right that some people really like these raincoats because we get lots of nice comments when it is raining. The sort of thing people say are you look prepared for the weather or you look like you are ready for rain and a lot of people ask where they can buy them. When we went to Betsy Coed last year it was really raining and I heard one lady say to her friend I wish I had a plastic mac like that lady is wearing. All you could buy in the shops there were those thin cagoules and Im not sure they are even really waterproof. I can't really understand why the shops don't sell macs now if so many people want them. C&A in Bedford were really good but they closed down. We are just lucky because we bought quite a few in Ireland where they have the Dunnes shops. I don't know if anyone else knows where you can buy them but I hope that is OK for you.

Hi Jeff that program that had a brief showing of a woman in a plastic Mac the trailer showed nothing but that bit thought that was strange.
