Christmas

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. We had a quiet one in Blarney until the McGs arrived on Friday that is! Last night we had our Christmas dinner of turkey and ham. We had crackers filled with hats, jokes and prizes and what did we play with.........the wires that held the crackers together......

We're travelling to Limerick tomorrow to ring in the New Year with family which I'm looking forward to. Now I must get started on that resolution list.

Happy New Year to friends and family near and far xx

1985

Most of us have left things in our childhood homes that we thought we'd never part with and promised someday we'd clear out or take away. I know this is probably junk that needs to be thrown out because while I don't mind it staying in my parents house I really don't want it coming into my own house. My poor Mother hasn't the heart to just dump everything and sometimes she'll give me something that she's found which will throw me back in time. She's trying her best to clear the junk, the woman needs room for her jumpers.

The most recent item I received was a date book from 1985 - it brought me way back, well back to 1985 anyway. And believe me, a date book belonging to a 15 year old girl is not a rivetting read. Until I reached December and the best thing that could happen to any 15 year old girl happened - I became an Auntie.

Happy Birthday baby girl xx

Weekend in Glasgow

The weekend in Glasgow went great, I think everyone really enjoyed themselves and we got to see a bit of Glasgow from old right up to new (from the Barras market to Xscape Centre). We even got to meet Kevin Keegan!


As you can see by the photos, we were all in fine Christmas spirit.....

Planes, trains & automobiles

The trains and automobiles went down a treat with the nephew as you can see from the photos and as for planes I never want to see one of them for a long long time.........or at least until next Friday when we make our way to Glasgow. Watch out City of Glasgow, this weekend we're bringing the Moriartys!

All shopped out

Just something small for under the Christmas tree.
