On the move again ....

Well I got some bad news this week I have to move out of the house I am in by June as the family that own it are coming back to Ireland and to the house. I know it is not life threatening and in the scheme of things it is not very bad news but it was a real shock to me and has really thrown me, they say it is stressful to move, well try moving 3 times in one year and start a new job!!!!
I was just starting to feel settled and was starting to think about summer work etc and now I am back to square one looking for place to live and having to pack and unpack again.
 I would appreciate your prayers at this time thanks charis

Visiting friends in England

I was in England the last few days (with another friend Claire) visiting Sharon and David Pearce, when we were over we went to see other friends Katherine and Russell Norton, it was great to catch up and to have some fun too, as you can see in the pictures below!! There was lots of snow when we were there but thankfully we were OK although we had a rough drive from Birmingham (where we flew into) to Swindon! 

Visiting friends:  Russell, Katherine and Sharon

afternoon tea in Bath

visiting Jane Austen in Bath

Snake Handling


There was lots of snow when we were in England 

St. Patrick's Day!

I had visitors here for St. Patrick's weekend (Eileen and Katrina). It was lovely to have them here to visit and  as you can see above we went to the local parade!!

SNOW IN THE SUNNY SOUTH EAST

Believe it or not it is snowing here in the sunny south east!! This picture was of my garden at about 7pm, the snow is still falling and there is a lot more snow now than when I took this over 2 hours ago!


Mum, Grandpa and I
I was away with my mum for a day last week and then we went onto my Grandpa's 90th birthday party on Saturday before coming back to Tramore that evening and then mum was here with me on Sunday for mother's day but she was ill so I had to drive her back to cork so she could go to the doctor today (she has a kidney infection). She is on a new antibiotic and will hopefully be back to full health soon.
