Kissing the Stone

Ben FINALLY got to kiss the Blarney Stone, something I had been promising him since June... And he was so brave, and I was so proud!

Longing for Country Living

It's official, I should be living on a farm - we were so lucky last week to be invited to mind a friends farm while they were away on holiday... we got to look after the chickens, the elusive tortoise (who we only found on the last day), Cindy the pony, Tess the sheepdog, Tammy and Rev the 9 week old springer puppy... It was glorious. The farm is in West Cork which must be one of the more scenic and beautiful parts of Ireland (although I'm biased because I think every part if this country has something to offer)... The children had a ball and relished the freedom... words fail me and so I will just have to show you how fabulous it was...


Out with my friend at the Pirate and Princess party, I'm here, but I won't enjoy myself... !

Walking the dogs, or walking the children??
