I heard about Paris and I was sickened. I searched for information and I was sickened. Hours passed and social media went into overdrive. Everyone’s thoughts on Paris were everywhere and like everyone else I had a few of my own. Initially my thoughts were with the mothers whose sons and daughters would never come … More Can we ever overcome terrorism?
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.
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.
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?

Ah the night of the red moon. Did you see it? They told us it would a very rare, spectacular occurence. I thought I’d better make an effort to see it as I’m not getting any younger. Only the other day I’d a headache, and yesterday I sat for so long I had a sore … More The night of the red moon.
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.
Do you believe in God? An afterlife? Nothing at all? One God, creation, retribution, reincarnation or Heaven? Personally none of that makes sense to me. However one of my greatest friends lost her young boy to cancer almost two years ago. She is religious and has a deep faith, firmly believing he is in heaven … More Is there life after death?
Many of you will perhaps have no idea that here in Ireland we have two national sports, Gaelic football and Hurling, affectionately known as G.A.A or gaah.
