Ah yes, my dearest first car, Yesterday as my eldest daughter got her first flat tyre and … More To you, my dearest first car…
It’s that time of year when I devote a whole post to recap on the past year blogging and pressure you into reading anything you might have missed.

Today I’d a moral dilemma, well maybe more of a ‘feck what will I do’ moment? So for a bit of fun I thought I’d test you to see how well do you know me? You may remember that yer man I’m married to is mad into Gaelic football and that the team he is … More How well do you know me?
