I attended the funeral of a grandfather last night; an elderly man who was ill for some time. A few months ago he said goodbye to his wife of many years, his ‘ole doll’ as his granddaughter said. I didn’t know this man, nor his wife, but I do know his granddaughter. As I entered … More Paying my respects.
Welcome to Freshly Impressed, where I share with you posts I have read recently which have left me ‘Freshly Impressed’. First up, as we are nearing Halloween, I’d like to feature a post by Beth from, ‘I didn’t have my glasses on’. It epitomises why I love blogging, as everyday I discover something new and … More Freshly Impressed #15
I live in a relatively small village in Ireland. A far cry from busy Dublin, where I was born. We have countryside aplenty, and the sea on our doorstep. It’s a place I’ve lost my heart to, a community I’ve become a real part of. Often it is only in hard times we see community … More What a day.
This day two years ago a family said goodbye to a beautiful six year old boy and bravely agreed to donate his organs. Today I would like to remember small Ben here on my blog and let his family know they are very much in our thoughts. I wrote this post last year and to … More Remembering Ben.
I’m tired. I think each day that tomorrow wont be so mad and busy, but then tomorrow comes and it’s just as manic as today. As I settle for the night there is as much on my ‘nope I didn’t get around to that again today’ list as there is my ‘yes’ list. Yesterday was … More What worries have you?
A day or so later than usual, but here are the posts which ‘Freshly Impressed’ me this week.

First up is a fellow Irish blogger Socialbridge who recently … More Freshly Impressed #14
Tomorrow it will be close to three decades since my Dad’s final curtain call. I suspect he will be my first thought tomorrow morning and my last tomorrow night. Almost thirty years may seem a lifetime, but it is, at times, just the blink of an eye as the calendar of grief moves to a … More October 9th. Not just another day.
Yesterday was Monday. Back to school, back to work, back to traffic, back to rushing. Another day over before we knew it? Before we know it, we will be Christmas shopping and welcoming a new year. Is time passing us by? Are precious moments each day being missed in the rush of modern living? Today … More Regrets?
I’ve heard the advice a thousand times, if you wish to finish a story or a book you should write a little every day. Just write. Really? I am not a professional writer so I have no deadlines. I can write what I want when I want to. However I cannot write when I don’t … More Just write?
Okay, deep breath. It’s not easy to write this without a glass of wine in me but I’m going to (and hope I then press publish). Over a year ago a blog buddy of mine, Duncan,from Madhatters, suggested I put some of my posts together and publish a small ebook for Christmas. He said he would … More To writers and my readers… I’m looking for your help please.
