    Did anyone here ever do the Jameson distillery tour on Bow Street ?

    Thinking of doing it when I'm up in Dublin soon. Suppose its better than been stuck in overpriced pub ha

    It could be a Halloween tree!

    A few years ago I stumbled upon Halloween trees on social media. I told sister freshpopcorn who's a teacher and she put one up in her classroom other teachers followed. They also happened in other local schools and no doubt homes also.

    A wintery evening here. Rain, wind and had to turn on the heating and a few lights in the place at about 7, the evenings are really starting to close in.

    The drive home from westport was awful, lashing rain and some real strong cross winds, made driving less fun than normal. Was glad to get home safely.

    Hallowe'en trees are starting to be a big thing actually. My cousin puts up her full size Christmas tree around about now but decorates it with an autumnal theme. My sister has definitely had one in the past too.

    August and September took less time to pass than July on it's own 😄

    With the chilly and dark evenings starting to come in I'm itching for the Christmas music, cookery, movies and general programmes to be on the telly.

    Christmas purchases from The Range. Reckoned all of these items had a retro look so bought them. Believe me I wanted to buy more but there has to be a limit ;-)

    So nostalgic! I remember the family tree always having those robins spread sporadically around the tree so definitely retro! I think the mother still has a couple of them still in use after 25 years at least.

    Can't believe it's October tomorrow.

    Spent last weekend in Center Parcs. 4th year in a row going at this time of year. We absolutely love it. Kids had a whale of a time and I particularly liked spending a couple of hours in the outdoor pool last Friday with the sun beating down on me. Ahhhhh

    Hectic week and an even more hectic one ahead of me next week. The weeks are flying by. Won't be long until the kids are on mid-term. 🫣

    Happy October everyone. It's a lovely bright morning so hopefully it's be a nice day. It's my husbands birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary, can't believe how fast that time is gone - how can I be married that long when I'm still in my 20's 😂😂.

    This day 12 weeks is Christmas Eve. Still a long way away but at the same time I'm a bit uneasy that I haven't started buying the presents yet. This is not normal to feel this way so far out 😂

    Weather is nuts today. I was cold yesterday morning and then after the rain passed yesterday evening, you could feel the warmth in the air.

    I'm back in my shorts again today 😅
