Did you enjoy it? Did you share it with friends? Did you hug your loved ones? Did you make it as good as it could be? Last Thursday morning I woke up to a text which shook me to the core. My fun loving, lively, fit, active, ‘healthy’ cousin had become ill during the night, … More If this were your last day…
Some of my earliest memories are of you, my first true love. The times we spent together when I was a child, you building something or other, me sanding blocks of wood for no purpose but to be with you. That time you rescued me from a race I wasn’t ready for. Waking up for … More A brief message to my first true love.
Valentines Day. It sounds so simple, a day to say to someone special, ‘I love you’. Wrong! If you believe that you are in trouble. Valentines Day is commercialism at it’s best. Cleverly it has been sold to us as a day we show our loved ones how much we love them, by buying them cards … More What should you buy her for Valentines Day?
I live in Ireland. I, like almost everyone else in this country, speak English, but Irish is considered our national language. I’m sure you’ve often heard not to mention politics or religion if you want to avoid controversy, well over here you can add the Irish language to that. The mere mention of it sends … More When two worlds collide.

So here is some of those I will be thinking of today: Charles,Charles, Molly, Kathleen, Marian, Ger, Florrie, to mention but a few, and of … More Who will you be remembering?
Fourteen years ago I took you by the hand, somewhat reluctantly on both our parts, and brought you to school; big school.

That was the beginning of a new life for you. … More From all mothers to their children sitting exams.
I cannot believe it, yesterday my blog was three years old. It feels like only yesterday that I wrote that first post. I honestly thought that the internet was enormous and there was no hope of anyone stumbling upon it. I hovered over publish and was hugely elated when I eventually posted it. A short … More Happy Blogday to me
I was reminded today of a very bad day my other half had when we lived in Australia. When I say, ‘very bad’ for him, I may mean, ‘very funny’ for me. It was a Saturday morning. The previous night we had done our grocery shopping and as I came downstairs I discovered yer man tearing … More That’s what I call a bad day!
Last week a good friend of mine lost a good friend. He was a relatively young man who cancer stole away. Away from his relatively new wife and a future many of us think, mistakenly, is guaranteed. I didn’t know my friend’s friend, but I saw the sadness in his face as he told me … More Why I light a candle.
I have four children and was there at the birth of each so am fairly sure they are definitely mine, however sometimes I look at them and wonder, ‘where did I get her?’ The other day one of my daughters was speaking about booking a holiday and it reminded me of how different I was … More Who me?
