I’d rarely ask for anything like this, but there is only twenty four hours left. Some of you may remember a post I did last year about an amazing man called Pa Curran who lost his best friend in an accident. His friends organs were donated and as Pa heard the helicopter fly away, carrying … More Good people deserve good things. Please help.
There comes a time… when we realise our once tiny babies have outgrown their newborn clothes. With regret we set them aside, and marvel at how quickly they’ve grown. There comes a time… when we watch our little ones take their last feed, breast or bottle, and we begin to understand the tug to our … More There comes a time…
It’s twenty eight years since I hugged my dad. Twenty eight years since I saw his face, held his hand or kissed him. Twenty eight years since we said goodbye, But only moments since I last missed him. June 21st is Fathers day here in Ireland. Happy Fathers day dad. xxx As is now traditional … More Missing you.
You may recall reading my posts expressing mixed emotions of lonliness and pride as I waved two of my four children off to college. You’ve kindly continued to read my blog as I’ve waaahed about my family being halved, and the fact I can’t seem to adjust my cooking to allow for the reduction. Well … More What’s the opposite of empty nest?
Do you ever wonder at the person you have become? How different are you from the child you used to be? In many ways I am still the same girl I used to be, but in other ways I am all grown up. The temper I had so little control of is still there, but … More Look at me now!

Or those Sunday afternoons when friends were scarce and my younger brother and I ran out … More No time to dream

As luck would have it, just as I was wondering, I received an email, from my brother, (he’s … More This is what your ‘Yes’ meant.
We may be a small nation of just over four million people, but we know how to party. Tonight there will be many a party around the country, celebrating the huge Yes vote in todays referendum. It is an historic day and one I am so delighted to be part of. Today we showed the … More Proud to be Irish.
I was not going to post tonight, but I have to. I have to try to explain what I feel, to try to let those of you who are not here in Ireland today understand what this extraordinary day has meant to so many. Large numbers have spent the past week listening in despair to … More I’ll have a drink while we wait!
It is hard to write anything tonight as my stomach is in knots. Tomorrow is voting day. The simple question ‘Should we extend marriage rights to gay couples?’ has become complicated. Only a few months ago there was a large Yes majority, which has been greatly reduced since the mischievious addition of the welfare of … More One more sleep.
