It seems we never tire of a trip across the pond to visit friends! Last month we spent a long weekend in London, catching up with our Aussie mates who were over visiting from Brisbane en route to Italy. We also caught up with our other Brisbane friends and an Irish relative who are allContinue reading “Weekend in London town”

Summer love
I have had a whirlwind of a summer! I’ve walked the cavernous rooms of the Tate Modern while discussing life in small town Ireland with our friends in London. Stumbled across a makeshift throwback to my hometown in Borough Markets, while sipping on freshly pressed watermelon juice. Wandered the streets of Dublin City South suburbsContinue reading “Summer love”
Having a laugh
I’ve been off the radar for a month now! My how time flies. Just a little snippet of what I’ve been up to: A quick spring trip home to Canada to eat great true north strong and free food (and to see my family and friends of course). Joining the Irish workforce in Kildare, goingContinue reading “Having a laugh”
The conversation of coincidences
Hope you had a lovely Easter long weekend! Before I delve into what we got up to in Edinburgh by way of too many photos, I must share a conversation I had today. Because really, this isn’t just a picture blog, it’s also for sharing snippets of everyday moments that happen to me. Rare orContinue reading “The conversation of coincidences”

Another chapter
Today I cried for the first time in over two months. I was in the middle of a book store. It appears as though I can’t apply for a driver’s license here because even though they exchange Australian licenses for Irish ones, Canada and Ireland do not currently have a reciprocal agreement. So even thoughContinue reading “Another chapter”
Oh Canada
We have been in my home country, Canada, for two weeks now and have noticed just a few things. – We will never be warm enough. The mercury’s been solid since we’ve been here, never straying too far from -10. That’s Celsius people. – Our dollars are stretching further. Between home cooking, $5 breakfasts andContinue reading “Oh Canada”
The adventure begins
We are sitting at the airport in the lounge waiting to board our flight. We’ve made multiple weigh-ins and the check in area bins are now stuffed with toiletries, runners, magazines and other odds and ends that were weighing us down. Literally. We couldn’t get through until I moved my belongings around and I’m nowContinue reading “The adventure begins”
A day at the Races
Last week I celebrated my last Melbourne Cup Race in Australia for a while. Mind you, the fact I’ve never been to Victoria or Flemington Racecourse during Melbourne Cup Carnival never stops me from getting into the spirit! We had morning tea and lunch at work, where we entered the ‘sweeps’ and I even madeContinue reading “A day at the Races”
