Long May it Last!!




The sun is still shining I went for a quick walk on the beach today it was just lovely, very few people around, except for a few fishermen, lovely and peaceful!
Well as you can see from my pics the good weather is continuing (so far so good!) but I am so afraid to get up and look out the window every morning because I am so afraid one day we will just go back to that miserable Rain! Although no doubt we are guaranteed really lovely weather for the next two weeks while the kids are still at school, They get their hols on June 26th and that will probably be the last day of summer as it normally lashes for the entire time that they are on holidays!! I suppose I really shouldn't be negative! I have been busy which is good I suppose but in some ways I always feel as though it is a sort of intrusion on my crocheting time!!
Talking of which, I have been paired with Sam over at http://silkiesue.blogspot.com/ for the knitting and crochet swap, so I am now making lots of lovely small pressies for her but of course I wont be able to show you what they are until I know that she has received them! Also my Friend had a baby Boy the day before yesterday, so I will have to make a pressie for him also, i will be able to show you that as soon as I have it done, this was a bit of a blow to me as I was Convinced that she was going to have a little girl and had actually made up lots of pink things in anticipation! Oh well the best laid plans and all that! This is her third boy now so she will have a football team shortly! Anyway will catch up tomorrow hopefully will have more time then,
Take Care,

A Virtual Visit - Welcome to County Clare!

Barbara over at: http://achocolatebook.wordpress.com/ visited my site today and left me a lovely comment! She also said that she loved the view from my house and wants to come & visit me!! (No Point in being Shy!! Lol! ) Anyway it got me thinking about something I had seen lately on a local website that I had visited and I thought it would be a nice thing to add to my blog so that visitors from other countries could get a chance to visit with us here in County Clare. You won't have to pay for a classy hotel or a b&b as it is a Free Virtual Visit, So today I am bringing you to a local tourist attraction, it is only about a ten minute drive from my house, along the scenic route with the Coast in view at almost all times, I hope you will enjoy this visit, you are guaranteed a birds eye view! If you would like to find out more about the Cliffs you can check out their website here:http://www.cliffsofmoher.ie/ , Talk to you tomorrow,

Love Moe xx

Everybody Salsa!











Hey there,
how are You Today? As for me I'm fine, better than fine actually, the sun is still shining and making us all feel so good (apart from a small bit of sunburn that is, but we won't complain about that!)
Today we had our school spots day, the kids just loved it last year it was rained out of it and had to be abandoned halfway through so it was refreshing to have nice weather for a change.
I have been busy already getting things ready for my knitting and crochet swap over at Mel's blog http://melaniegalloway.info/?p=543#comments . I have found lots of great little projects to do, should keep me busy for a while, but unfortunately I won't be able to tell you what they are for quite a while yet!
I Love Wednesday's as it is my evening off away from the kids and housework, instead I go Salsa Dancing! It is just so much fun everybody should try it! I do it to keep fit and it is called Salsa Slims and the guy who teaches us really makes sure that we work out, but a whole hour seems just like 5 Min's you can hear the collective groan in the room when he says OK ladies last dance! I am so bad at any kind of exercise that I have to do something and this really does not feel like exercise at all. I have been kinda busy outside now that the weather is nice and have been doing a small bit of work on my vegetable patch, whether anything will grow or not who knows, guess I will have to wait and see, just posted a couple of pics of the kids at the sports day, my crochet blanket not finished yet still working rounds on the outside! and also thought you might like to see the view from my house, here it is in all its glory! it is really beautiful, espically in this nice weather,
Off to Salsa Soon so better get the kids some dinner!
Chat again Tomorrow!

Kilkee, County Clare




Isint this little house so beautiful? In such a lovely location while the weather is nice, but being realistic probably really awful to live in in the winter!







Was in Kilkee in County Clare, to meet another Bride about her Wedding Flowers and couldint resist taking some pictures of the beach while I was there, it is a beautiful Horse-Shoe shaped beach, I always love Kilkee it is such a beautiful little Irish Seaside town.



Busy Busy Busy!















Busy Busy busy, No time to waste Today! No Time for Crafting today either :(

Just as well that I love my Job!! Thankfully the weather here in County Clare, Cleared up to reveal a beautiful day. Best of Luck to Anne pictured above who married Donal in Quilty Church by the Sea a beautiful Venue. It really is a man's world, by the time I had finished the wedding flowers it was time to collect the kids from shcoll and child minders etc, back down to earth with a bump as usual! Must go and get the hungry crowd some dinner now, hope you like the wedding! I Love the colour of the bridesmaids dresses.
