Here we go again, I am writing. I am aware that there are no rules except for the ones I set for myself, but last year was very unproductive when it came to writing. Therefore, I am determined to get a blog post out once per month this year. I did not publish anything inContinue reading “Out of the black!”

Forty-three plus seven equals me
Now that I am back to writing I thought I would give my fiftieth birthday blog post a go. Not sure how it is going to work since I have been dreading reaching the big five zero (who does not?). There are so many myths associated with turning fifty that one can only think ofContinue reading “Forty-three plus seven equals me”
Out and about, in and around!
I am back! Although there is no way I can catch up with all my overdue blogs from last year and this year. I guess it is just a matter of accepting that sometimes life itself has different plans, that at times your enthusiasm may be tainted by a shade of procrastination, that every soContinue reading “Out and about, in and around!”
Come on, let’s do it!
The second month of the new year is coming to an end, which means I am just a little bit behind schedule. As I was writing my last blog on the last day of 2022, I decided that I would have a blog out every month in 2023, at a minimum. January is said toContinue reading “Come on, let’s do it!”
Fifty shades of dates!
After my series of blog posts on the Emerald Isle, which I truly enjoyed writing, it is time for me to go back to my usual sort of blogs. Over the last months I have been adding ideas, thoughts and titles for new blogs to my notepad, possible future blogs list is looking good! BusyContinue reading “Fifty shades of dates!”
The Emerald Isle, my five years anniversary!
Today is the 28th of June, which means that five years ago, I landed in Rosslare! This followed: saying goodbye to family and friends; an epic drive through France with my car packed with clothes, houseware, and some food essentials; tearful goodbye to my parents at the harbour in Cherbourg; a sixteen-hour journey on theContinue reading “The Emerald Isle, my five years anniversary!”
The Emerald Isle, its Irishness
June is already here, which means my fifth blog on the Emerald Isle is due! This series started in February as my humble homage to this amazing island which is home to me. Here I am, in June getting the last one ready. I have to say it has been incredibly enjoyable to try andContinue reading “The Emerald Isle, its Irishness”
The Emerald Isle, its language.
May has flown so quickly, just a couple of days more and it will be gone, which means I am behind schedule with my fourth blog on the Emerald Isle. It also means that my five year anniversary is nearly there, so excited! People, landscape, music and now its language: Irish and Irish English. EvenContinue reading “The Emerald Isle, its language.”
The Emerald Isle, its music!
There we go again, my third blog on Ireland, this time music is the chosen one. If I had plenty of struggles in my last blog trying to narrow down the list of places to be mentioned, not sure how I am going to put the final full stop to this new one: its music!Continue reading “The Emerald Isle, its music!”
The Emerald Isle, its landscapes!
I could not have a series of blogs about the amazing Emerald Isle without writing about its landscapes. Captivating, breath-taking and a soul haven. Relaxing, peaceful but at the same time invigorating. Colourful, majestic but dull at a times. Full of contrasts, completely different from the North to the South, from the East to theContinue reading “The Emerald Isle, its landscapes!”
