GIY or Grow it Yourself……hopefully!
Check out our first attempts at growing our own vegetables!!

The Flora Women’s Mini-Marathon: June 7th 2010
Hello all,
Today I bring you news of the Flora Women’s Mini-Marathon…..this year I’ve decided to take part in aid of a very good cause which is very close to our hearts in this house – The Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Let it Snow????
My God this weather is unbelievable!!
I hope that wherever you are in Ireland (or anywhere in the world for that matter) that you are well, keeping warm and not venturing out on the roads unless absolutely necessary.
I am blessed, in a way, that I’m not working outside the home at the moment because the roads [...]

The Wonderful World of the Audiobook & Podcast
Happy Bank Holiday Monday.
The sun is shining for a change and isn’t it wonderful! What’s even better is that it’s been shining for the last 3 days and it’s set to continue all through next week. I always say you’re guaranteed good weather the first week of June because that’s when Exams are being sat [...]
Holidays are the best!
It’s simply been too long. I am disgusted with myself that it’s been so long since I’ve posted. But here and now I’m making a mid year resolution to myself to post at least once a week. Indeed that shouldn’t be too hard now that the American visitors have long since headed home and our [...]
