Its happening – despite everything working against us, the training weekend has been scheduled and we are ready to welcome all who can make it. The weekend is all about fun, movement and learning about ourselves and what drives us to perform or look for change. Bring plenty of changes of clothes as you may...
I’m going to be upfront here and let you know that this recipe is based on a Ballymaloe scone recipe. Having spent a weekend or 3 at cooking courses in Ballymaloe, I had plenty of scone tasting experience and have decided that they are up at the top of my top 5 scones! Recipe 7...
So, you want to join in on Veganuary? I had a lengthy blog post prepared arguing the positives and negatives – the why’s the how’s and the “should you or shouldn’t you’s”. But, as I read back over it, I have decided that it just isn’t my job to talk you into or out of...
“Which yoghurt is better for me”? I’m going to start answering this by saying that no yoghurts are going to make you ill unless you are lactose intolerant. No yoghurts are truly ‘bad’ and we have to stop thinking like that when it comes to food. I usually eat yoghurt to fill a gap. Sometimes...
It was our first time! We were camping holiday virgins. I didn’t know whether we would kill each other in a more enclosed space or whether the great outdoors would be our living room. Would we live our best lives in La Sirène in the South of France. Really, I needn’t have worried! Due to...
#gifted If you don’t know this about me already, I love the outdoors. I am always searching for new ways to explore this wonderful island and our trip on the Blackwater river did not disappoint. This weekend, we had the best adventure in County Waterford. I had been contacted by Blackwater Eco Tours who invited...
It’s my birthday. I woke up to blazing sunshine and the smell of coffee. Can birthdays actually get any better than that? We just had the most beautiful evening out on the Blackwater (read all about it here). So, after a little stroll at the pier we decided to leave early and stop for coffee...
Women used to have to give up their jobs in Ireland once they got married – did you know that? Periods were taboo and god forbid you fed your child in public the way nature intended. As depressing as all that sounds, all is not lost. We are slowly emerging from the dark ages (we...
One day of sunshine and I am excitedly packaging up all the wooly jumpers and pulling out my summer shorts and bikinis. As we cautiously put all thoughts of winter to the back of our minds we know we will slowly start to feel less sluggish. Hopefully the winter sniffles will gradually dry up too....
I never set out to become a triathlete. I was living my best life in Dublin. Drinking all the wine, eating all the food, gaining all the poundage and really enjoying every minute of it. However, I wasn’t all that impressed with the fact that my dress size was becoming less and less comfortable and...
