Hello from Cyprus. I’m having a lovely time. It is very hot and my poor pale celtic skin is feeling under pressure.
Yesterday was the big birthday! How many people can say that they spent their 30th birthday driving around the mountains in a jeep? Mount Olympus to be precise. And [...]
All packed and ready to go! Though, somehow I wound up with D’s diving regulator in my case!!!!???? So, if you were expecting any holiday gifts from me, you will be left wanting - no room for presents as I have 3kgs of hoses, mouthpieces, valves and gauges in my bag, alongside my [...]

On Sunday I woke up and could not rest until I had made myself a knitting needle roll.
All this and a [...]

I’ve been a gad-about again. This time I went to Lovely Leitrim to see the Newly Weds. It was my longest solo car journey, and it all went swimmingly well. I am grateful to share my father’s sense of direction and not my mother’s (you know what I mean Ma).
