Visit to London!!

I had a really good time listening to good music and visiting family outside of London. The gigs we saw were Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica and (the very eccentric) Canadian musician that is Devin Townsend. It was my second time experiencing each band and it was brilliant to see them again, and in a more intimate setting.

Here we are all ready to go...

It also was great to see Nath’s family and catch up on news and life. It’s hard to keep in touch when we live so far apart, but I wouldn’t change them for the world :) and it makes it more special when we get the chance to travel over.

Spring is definitely in the air as we had lots of sun over the weekend, but not so much during the week as the rain is never far away in this part of the world. I am hoping to get stuck in to some crafting and baking soon to get us in the spring mood, so do watch this space.

Have a great Wednesday and last few days of March and I will see you soon :)

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

St Patricks Day! 2011

...Things have finally started to calm down from the Paddy’s Day celebrations. It was brilliant fun and thanks to you all who made an effort and joined us for the celebrations. I think I could honestly say it was my best Paddy’s Day so far :)

To start off St. Patricks Day myself and a few others went on a journey across the border of N. Ireland to the beautiful town of Moville in Co. Donegal, where there were lots of people celebrating the day with green hair, banners, parades and good old drinking and dancing in the street (couldn’t beat it).

The parade was great!! Lots of cheering, dancing, music and humorous floats that were really well organized, it definitely made the day… along with the Guinness. 

ST PATRICKS DAY 2011 Seen and Love!

Well, it looks like the weather gods or St. Patrick himself has graced us with some beautiful sunny weather on this paddy’s day eve. Lets pray it stays the same for the main event tomorrow.

I hope you liked my Shamrock tutorial from yesterday and gave it a go. Here are a few more activities and fun things to keep us busy this St. Patrick’s day...
