These days in Ireland is like living in an aquarium, water dripping, flowing and moving everywhere causing devastation to peoples homes and livelihoods. With lakes, rivers, streams & bogs bursting their banks almost engulfing all in their path. Puddles dotted everywhere filled with water. With the noise of the constant rain beating on the windows and wind howling around the house, one thinks of those less off who have been affected by this flooding. On the other hand across the miles others are dying daily from a lack of water, the dry drought of the desert lands. Oh how life is dynamic and diverse! As Rollo May says Courage is not the absence of despair; it is rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair. Spare a thought for those less well off than you today!

I was just online looking up a few hotels in Ireland for a weekend trip away. The weather is awful here and depressing so I was thinking of escaping to somewhere nice for a couple of nights. I came across the Glasshouse Hotel in Sligo which looks really modern and stylish and it is reasonably priced too. I can then potter about Sligo looking through the shops, cafes, tea rooms, the heritage and the culture. Here are a few photographs of the hotel, so fingers crossed I might go there in a few weeks before Christmas.

Hello everyone,
Hope your all enjoying the weekend, it’s sunny here today in Ireland so I’m off out for the day after dinner. Here are some lovely gift boxes I bought on Thursday from Dunnes Stores, they were so cheap €6.00 for the three. Just thought I’d share them with you, they are very festive too.
