It’s winter in Ireland, a time of rain, gales and cold weather. Viruses and illness are everywhere. Similar to flue and swine flue, this country is in the midst of an epidemic. It began slowly two weeks ago and has now peaked. It is called Garth Brooks fever. I have been struck down. Badly. The … More I’m sick!
My youngest who is still eleven asks me almost daily “Can I have a sleepover for my birthday?”. She is my fourth child so as you can imagine, I am not a novice in this.

This day last year “My thoughts on a page” was born. I remember so well that very first day when I wrote my first post. I thought the web was a huge place and I would be relatively anonymous. When the little wordpress star lit up I had no idea what it was. On discovering … More Happy Birthday to me.

It’s Thursday night. A hugely anticipated night in our house. At about 9pm the excitement peaks. Just before my husband arrives in with the shopping. I always know it’s a Thursday because of the many presses left open throughout the day. This happens as a result of my children looking for non existent food. They … More Thursday night. Feeding time at the zoo.
Once or twice a week a couple of friends and I go for a walk. It is quite a long trek of about 8km, off the beaten track. This walk has become a huge part of our friendship.
