My favourite five.

November 11, 2016

Recently my blog buddy Kate over on Kate takes 5 celebrated six years of blogging and, cough cough, one million views! Imagine that. To celebrate her achievement she’s compiled a listography featuring her favourite posts, which I’ve decided to join. Perhaps you might too? I’ve been blogging four years come this January. In that time … More My favourite five.

There I am in the paper #5

November 5, 2016

Here it is my latest article for Feelgood in The Examiner. I’m beginning to get into the swing of getting an article written to a deadline and in a way I’m enjoying the challenge, even if there are hours where I think, “What the feck am I going to write this week?” Thankfully yer man … More There I am in the paper #5

Home, where my families heart still beats

November 2, 2016

I’ve returned from two nights staying at ‘home,’ the house I grew up in, where my mum still lives and the heart of my family beats. It’s filled me, as it always does, with nostalgia for days long gone and prompted me to look up an old post I wrote three years ago. I’ve polished … More Home, where my families heart still beats

There I am in the paper #4

October 30, 2016

Here we go again, my latest article in Feelgood in The Irish Examiner. It’s meant to entertain you! The line used to draw you in this week was, “As I waited in line, I rehearsed my speech. However, when I got to the cashier, what came out was a lot less revolutionary than what I … More There I am in the paper #4

The week has flown by. So here is this weeks link to my column in The Feelgood supplement in The Irish Examiner. This week the pullout quote was, ‘The other day, in a desperate attempt to detox, I placed my phone in a kitchen drawer. Who needs a phone 24/7?’ I hope you enjoy it. … More There I am in the paper. #3

I gave my kids a gift and they hate it.

October 21, 2016

Stand back and take cover because I’m on a bit of a rant. I got up this morning and pretty soon after I stood up life began to throw a number of challenges at me. I ducked and dived, rescheduled, mopped up and re organised my day, all before 9 am. Realising I wasn’t coping … More I gave my kids a gift and they hate it.

What’s your story?

October 2, 2016

I wrote last week saying I’d love to share some of your stories about how you met the love of your life. What I have always found amazing is that, for many, the meeting of their partner was a moment of chance or courage. To set the ball rolling here’s my story. I met ‘yer … More What’s your story?

Peeping through my fingers.

September 29, 2016

So my friends and greatest supporters, tomorrow is D Day and I’m sick. Not actually sick, but sick with nerves. As I told you before, (here) I’ve agreed to write a weekly column in the Feelgood supplement of The Irish Examiner, an Irish national newspaper and tomorrow the first one will be published. I’ve only … More Peeping through my fingers.

Have you a story to tell?

September 24, 2016

I’ve an idea and I’m wondering if any of you would be interested? It was triggered by a conversation I had with a friend of mine online, and during it she mentioned meeting her now husband in the US in Gaelic Park. She spoke of the early moments of their encounter and their subsequent marriage. They’ve … More Have you a story to tell?
