Both the Crooked Jig and Austrian Reel are a celebration of the delight of anticipation, an epic adventure and a birthday party never to be forgotten.
Two children, a brother and sister decided to visit their great-grand mother Miriam, for her 80th birthday.
She was in Ireland, they were in Austria. Some way, Jamie (10 years old) and Mia (8 years old) managed to find their way to Co. Wicklow. After the party, boy and girl took the first boat back to Austria – in time for school the next morning.
