Last night I didn’t make a holy show of myself. I didn’t die of a broken heart nor did I embarrass myself in any way, but rest assured I felt like it. For last night my husband and I walked our youngest in the door of her primary school for her graduation. Our final graduation … More On to her next adventure.
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.

Where would we be without the internet? Remember when we had to find and then look up an encylopedia if we wanted to know something?

When we read actual books as opposed to kindle and the like, and … More The feckin not so time saving merits of the internet!
Can you hear me sigh? Sitting here writing once more is like returning home after a busy day, sinking into a comfy chair and feeling my shoulders slowly begin to relax.

If you met me today you would, as always, be greeted by a smile and a loud and cheery “Hi how are ye?”. I would appear to be in great form and we would chat about this and that and enjoy a good laugh. But as you walk away, my smile would disappear and if … More Maybe look a little closer?
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!
I realised today I rarely daydream anymore. At school I remember many a religion class when I would drift away to a place many miles from school and study, family and homework which definitely did not feature a nun. Or those Sunday afternoons when friends were scarce and my younger brother and I ran out … More No time to dream
