News flash! Summer arrived in Ireland today. The sun shone and it was warm. No clouds and more amazingly no rain. It brought back memories, of the one day of Summer, we all remember from last year. The only real Summers day we had! So I headed out to the garden, to attend to the … More An afternoon spent with lost friends.
As I write daily, putting “my thoughts on a page”, I often just write as I think. I do not intend it to inspire, nor do I expect anything I write, to make any real difference in anyones life. However as I read other peoples blogs, that is exactly what happens. Many entertain me, as … More I learn more from blogging than from Google.
When I was a student nurse, I worked in a childrens hospital, as part of my training. It was here I learned a lot about dealing with children, from an amazing lady who would never have any of her own. The hospital was in inner city Dublin. It was surrounded by flats, which were inhabited … More It’s a miracle!
Oh dear, I think I have been a mother too long! When I had my first child, I quite literally “adored” her. I experienced a love and devotion to her, that the most ardent followers of religion, would find it hard to beat. She could do no wrong. I had a second, third and fourth … More Twenty years a mother, and I still get it wrong!
Next weekend, Sunday to be precise, my eldest daughter, will flee the nest which we call home. She will get on a plane, and head to the USA. Imagine, my child, my most precious, will be nearer some of you who blog, than to her own family! In reality she is just one, of the … More Look out America, here they come!
When I look around, I marvel at the world we live in. A world I could never have imagined as a child. Televisions in every room, hundreds of channels to choose from. Computers, mobile phones and ipods. Not in a million years, could I ever have seen this future. However as I look around, there … More I enjoy a free drink!
I am up to my eyeballs in testing. Two of my children are doing state exams, one for no reason (that I can see), the other is doing his final exams, and depending on results, will select his course and college. I can understand that in order to move on, my eldest must undergo some … More Testing, 123, testing?
I have a lovely partner, my husband of twenty two years, and four wonderful children. However I have a secret love. I have kept this secret love, for as long as I have known my husband. It is not a conventional love, and certainly not one I often speak of. This love of mine is … More Unconventional love.
“Will you have a cup of tea?”, You cannot go into any house in Ireland, without being asked this question. Anyone who has watched the comedy Father Ted, will have laughed at the character Mrs Doyle, and her fixation with tea. “Ah go on, go on, go on”, she repeatedly says, when anyone refuses. What … More The truth behind a cup of tea.
Last week I went to a club swimming competition. It was there I made my big mistake! It was a fun event, with the over nineteen masters section, and teenagers entered. I arrived there to show support, to the teens I teach, and also to enjoy a bit of fun. As I watched everyone compete, … More Big mistake!
