Anyone remember me? I’m the one who disappeared off the face of the earth a few months ago to write my memoir. Well guess what? It’s finished. Well draft one is finished.

Today, I remembered Mum, as it was this day last year she left us.

As it is barely visited by me these days, I thought I’d call over and say hello. … More Happy Birthday to me.
What better way to begin the New Year than to be able to tell you all my news. I have a book deal with Hachette Books Ireland for my memoir!

Growing up most of our photographs were of holidays, birthdays, gatherings or special occasions. If I were to have taken a ‘selfie’ as a teenager, people would have questioned my sanity. Nowadays, I rarely pose or share photos of myself and often forget to take my camera out during special occasions, but that doesn’t mean, … More Capturing the moments.
I know I’m a little late with this as today I sent off November’s issue, but, as they say, better late than never.
