Lost in Kilkenny & Writing Wisdom
Hubs and I got lost on one of our Countryside drives last week. Although it took us by surprise and I felt as though I should be alarmed, I was secretly delighted. There we were in the wild depths of County Kilkenny (we knew that much) not knowing what was going to happen or…
When Heels and Nature Collide
Imagine . . . me in a red dress and heels tottering along the gravelly path towards one of Ireland’s most stunning, unspoiled tourist attractions: Mahon Falls. Yes, I know I was dressed inappropriately, I was having a smart day ok? I have those sometimes . . .at the wrong times, obviously. Anyway, it was…
April Shimmers
A flash drive masquerading as a silver glittery locket – my find of the week. It’s nerdy, yet pretty, back up and bling up. And if you’re not into shiny tat but still want to preserve your files there’s a choice! For the healthy eaters: a watermelon slice, for the animal lovers: a rabbit, for…

The adrenalin mainly flowed whilst I was perched on the edge of my sofa watching Wales in a physical, heart-stopping game against England. You’d think I’d played the match myself! Well, they do say watching sport can…
Between a Rock and an eBook
I’m very proud of myself this week, having simultaneously published an ebook and walked across rocks. Now, ‘walking across’ may not sound as impressive as climbing but believe me there was some risk involved and it was to my life! Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration but these were hardcore rocks and slippery to…
