Home, where my families heart still beats

November 2, 2016

I’ve returned from two nights staying at ‘home,’ the house I grew up in, where my mum still lives and the heart of my family beats. It’s filled me, as it always does, with nostalgia for days long gone and prompted me to look up an old post I wrote three years ago. I’ve polished … More Home, where my families heart still beats

There I am in the paper #4

Today I was looking at the search terms used for those who visit my blog. I discovered in the past ten months over 1,500 people have arrived at my blog using the search term ‘I hate being a wife’.

What’s your story?

October 2, 2016

I wrote last week saying I’d love to share some of your stories about how you met the love of your life. What I have always found amazing is that, for many, the meeting of their partner was a moment of chance or courage. To set the ball rolling here’s my story. I met ‘yer … More What’s your story?

Have you a story to tell?

September 24, 2016

I’ve an idea and I’m wondering if any of you would be interested? It was triggered by a conversation I had with a friend of mine online, and during it she mentioned meeting her now husband in the US in Gaelic Park. She spoke of the early moments of their encounter and their subsequent marriage. They’ve … More Have you a story to tell?

The other day she asked, “Would you change anything you did in your life?” Initially I smiled and flippantly said, “Oh course not, if I did I may … More What would you change?

Is there light at the end of the parenting tunnel?

August 2, 2016

As minutes, hours and days go by we barely notice life changing, until one day we see a child of ours and we are winded. It can seem as if over night the years passed us by and in that moment we see our little ones as others do, no longer as little as we … More Is there light at the end of the parenting tunnel?
