This past October I took advantage of a new direct route offered by Canadian airline, Westjet, from Dublin to St. John’s in Newfoundland to visit one of my sisters. In under six hours, I was walking around the colourful streets TripAdvisor likens to a mini San Francisco! Unfortunately I’ve only been to San Fran’s airportContinue reading “Exploring North America’s most easterly point”

Weekend in London town
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 life of a LOL
We’ve been run off our feet these days. While the husband has been working for the past month at his new job, I’ve been busy buying bedding, sorting internet, attempting to make detox smoothies, ringing car salesmen and testing out the local cafes. And I tell you, the life of a Lady of Leisure (LOL)Continue reading “The life of a LOL”
Irish times
We’ve been in the Emerald Isle for the past month, while the husband looked for work, we caught up with family and tried to get our bearings. I dealt with this uncertainty and the ‘winds of change’ the way any normal foreigner would. Through Guinness, long and winding walks, baking in the turf fired range,Continue reading “Irish times”
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”
