The Starlings are back!

Probably a little bit overexposed, but it was quite difficult to catch this flighty little starling. There are two of them living under the eaves of the shed in our back garden, with their young chicks. They’re fast movers! There are also a couple of Great Tits living in the air vent in the master b

Push the button…you know you want to!

Button’s were made to be pressed, and this one in the middle of a quiet square in Belgium, is no exception. Events go from crazy to crazier, and the reactions of the people standing around are priceless! Aptly titled ‘A dramatic surprise on a quiet square’, it’s hilariously funny and extremely cleve

Slow cooker cooking – Fisherman’s Casserole.

This is a recipe for the slow cooker that I’d been meaning to try for a while. It contains eggs, which I’ve come across in recipes for Fish Pie but have never added because I always thought it sounded a bit….ick, to be honest. Yesterday I decided to try out the casserole. A couple of people have as

Are you happy? Play the ‘Glad Game’.

Thought for today, courtesy of www.yourlifeyourway.net. It made me think. What about the things you can’t change? Because there are lots of things that we don’t have the ability to change. And then I remembered the ‘Glad Game’. Ok….before you hit the ‘x’ button and go running for a bucket, first r

The Birdman at Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris

When I was in Paris last November I saw this man standing outside the Notre Dame Cathedral feeding the birds. It was fascinating to watch the birds darting backward and forwards, swiping bits of bread from the man’s outstretched hands. Everyone who passed by stopped to watch or to take a photo. I

The Cat’s Bar, more sheep, and a house for sale!

I made another trip to Mount Melleray on Monday. This time Ally came with me. She’d seen my photos of the old cottage and the sheep skulls and thought the skulls would make great drawing material. So we packed plastic bags and rubber gloves, donned our boots and rain gear and set off up the wet, g

Mount Melleray Abbey and the missing Rag Tree

Mount Melleray is a Cistercian Abbey located about 27km from Clonmel towards Cappoquin. It was founded in 1832 by a group of Irish Monks who came to Ireland when they were forced to leave their Monastery in Brittany, France, following the revolution. It is still a fully functioning Monastery and ma

George Clooney in CLONMEL?

If I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes…. Stopping in en route to Cobh – a man of impeccable taste. :) Be sure to visit www.jameswhelanbutchers.com and see, for yourself, the great selection of ‘Star Appeal’ products that are on offer.

Field of Bones

I love visiting old, ruined buildings, whether they be castles, monastic sites, or just old, abandoned cottages, like this one. This cottage is on the way to Mount Melleray from Newcastle, on the left hand side, just on a corner. It’s pretty dilapidated but still interesting. You can access it thro

Venus Angelic – Shocking?

A headline on the Mail Online website caught my eye this morning: ‘The mother of a teenage girl who posts shocking videos of herself posing as a ‘living doll’ has defended her daughter’s lifestyle.’ I knew immediately who the story was referring to. Last week the Mail Online carried a story about ‘R
