Friday Findings
Friday, the last day of the ‘working week’; for some anyway. A mother, wife, housewife’s job does not have weekends off. I do not complain though as I enjoy my job, it just makes a good opening for a post. Last time I had updated we had been out for the day and Sol had […]

Rain today & Baking Kentish Huffkins
What awful weather we have today, rain! It’s always raining here, roll on the springtime and we can get outside properly and get an airing. Today was another trip to Belfast, from where live if there’s no traffic it’s about 40 minutes drive. Other half had a hospital appointment to see about an issue he […]
MoreGold For Best
The pantomime is finally over. Four shows that just happened to be a huge success, which is no surprised considering I am entirely biased toward my children and several of the cast who I know very well. So far there are no photographs to share, photography during the shows was forbidden and cast photographs aren’t […]
MoreGame Of Thrones
We spent a little while touring around the north of Northern Ireland. We came across some places where the Game Of Thrones was filmed. We took loads of photos, I won’t bore you with them but here’s a couple. Balintoy, which was stunning and certainly helped by the fact it was a glorious day. The […]
MoreWoodland Walk
Tuesday! Shirked off Monday and I woke up this morning feeling like I needed to get out of the house. Then I glanced at the sky and decided not too; it was dark and dreary. So I went about my business around the house, packed a couple of orders and basically just goofed about doing […]
MoreHappy Birthday To The Queen
Happy Birthday to our long reigning queen, HM Queen Elizabeth the second. The queen has two birthdays, lucky her but today’s the day we celebrated her 90 years of life. Our village association planned a day of activities which was a huge picnic, happy birthday then lots of fun things to do. Of course it […]
MoreContinental Style
The continental market came to town. It was a lovely sunny day today so we decided to go and check it out. I only took Toni, Seb and Sol with me, we left the pup at home with my oldest child who is currently studying like a mad man for his exams. When we arrived […]
MoreSun, Sand, And The Wetlands.
What a busy week it has been for me, for us all really. Last weekend the weather was pretty good and we spent a few days on the beach. Not sunbathing beachy stuff, but dog walking and playing in the sand weather. The puppy loves the beach too which is just as we’ll considering we […]
MoreWashed Away
The weather today is dreadful. That statement is an understatement! With much of the UK on flood warnings all I can say its pretty darn cold and wet. We braved the rain yesterday, I needed to go to the bank to pay my wages in and Toni wanted to spend some of the money she […]
MoreTropical Beaches
The weather here last week was glorious! We spent a few days on the beach just soaking up the sunshine. Who would know we would have a paradise beach here just a couple minutes from my house. Love it!
MoreWalk from Groomsport to Orlock
I love where I live. Its not until you are forced to make decisions which are life changing that you really appreciate what you have. My husband has been offered a job in England and it is, in theory, a step up for him. Originally we were to be off by the 1st of march […]
MoreWe Do 4th July Here Too
Our village hosts a huge 4th of July event every year. We met up with another family and enjoyed a good evening’s entertainment followed by a brilliant fireworks display. There’s not much else to say, I took a few photos and wont bore you with them all.
MoreDeja Vu
Do you ever get the feeling of deja vu? Well I did today …. Long story short, I had popped out to Homebase to get some paint and wallpaper while leaving Roy at home. Roy was busy stripping in the bedroom while the children were occupied playing in their bedrooms. We got some great bargains […]
MoreRound up in few words as possible
This is Monday again, start of the Easter holidays for our schooled counterparts. Every day last week I had planned on taking the children to the local farm and everyday it rained. The day it didn’t rain our eldest child was marching in Belfast with his Boys Brigade for their annual batallion parade. So today, […]
