Back in blog land ...

Don't know why it would not let me log in for ages but lo and behold - here I am back.

Did anyone notice? Probably not !!

What have I been doing in January. Work is still an ongoing feature. Got through my probation period, so thats something!

Also won 'Value of the month' in work - bit like employee of the month - got a fandabby t-shirt - and a gift voucher for 50 euro (for Ikea!!).

Em .. what else is happening. Back to mosaic class, and am making great progress with the new improved splashback. Watch this space.

I dream a dream...

and it consists of me buying this ... ::

This house is on my road, and I was fortunate enough to get to know its previous owner and spend some time there. Its a beautiful listed building, which the current owners have negelected.

And should I ever win the lotto - which is what it would take - then I am going to buy it and restore it.

Snow again!

Oh what fun they had .. snow fun




Liadan & her pal Shauna having fun in the snow at the royal canal
This beautiful view is looking down our road from the top. Reminds me of a fairytale somewhat.


Our own house in the snow. Pretty.




Royal Canal iced & snowed over.



Looking down the canal path...



The crossroads at the end of our road ...





looking down our road from the crossroads



The 14th lock ... Royal Canal
