House Coveting

I have recently renewed my obsession with building a house, but easy style! I came across this company and think that one of these kit homes would be .....perfect. Well insulated (after living in an old house with very drafty sash windows, this would be a novelty), light filled and set well into the landscape (I want to live in the country too!) Plus they are affordable too- if you have a plot of land spare to put it on.... and get it from Scotland!
Oh well, I'll keep on dreamin'

Moving Home to Mayo !!

Well we finally made it ! Moved back to Co.Mayo in the West of Ireland after leaving just under seven years ago. This is just a snippet of our little piece of heaven. Feeling very privileged to be living here right now.

View from my comfy chesterfield we found , thrown away down a little alley way a few years back. Love it when that happens (rare occurance though ).

We have yet to set sail , maybe today, fingers crossed the rain prevails.

My personal favourite edition to our new home .



"Coffee swan"

Yesterday was a very special day for me and my boyfriend.... we had our first 'coffee swan'!!
It was a beautiful morning, we both had some time on our hands, so a short walk from our house brought us down to the local swan pedal boat lake. During the summer holidays this is the place to avoid, but we have the privilege to use it 'off-peak'. And the kind attendant allowed us to bring our coffees on too! What luxury!

En famille at Tyrella beach









Well, first things first- i finally sorted myself with a new camera! A bargain too, from Gumtree, so am very pleased with myself! Just need to practice lots and maybe invest in a new lens. It's the Canon 500d with a basis kit lens of 18-55mm 3.5-5.6, so will do for now. I really enjoyed playing photographer over the weekend. We were on a mini break with all the family near Tyrella beach in Newcastle Co.Down. The weather was very kind to us, we had a wonderful time!
