I'm back in Ireland for another Space Cousin mini-conference. There is nothing mini about the cookies though!

One day, all the cousins visiting (myself, and Clara, Lowijs, and Gerrit from Planet Netherlands) lined up in a row, in order of Space-Years.

Then we performed the annual inspection of the galactic gift center. Security was tight, you understand, so every bag was opened in turn and carefully investigated.

I met all my Irish cousins too, but my documentary team slipped up a little on recording our transactions. Hope to fix this soon!
