A food and social blog
This May bank holiday weekend was spent relaxing and enjoying the great weather. Dave was not off shooting a wedding at the weekend so we got to spend it together (yay) we used it to full advantage and ate out at my particular favourite bistro in Kilkenny Foodworks, we visited friends, I painted my garden […]
World, meet my new chair, chair meet world! As the newest member of the family, I had to take a few pictures to show off my fabulously up-cycled, re-upholstered old/new office chair! Discovered in a quirky shop in Dublin we had it wrapped in bubble wrap before hoofing it through the streets (on our […]
The other day whilst out grabbing lunch I stumbled across this little gem of a cafe in Kilkenny. This cafe sits cheerful and bright on lower Patrick Street, calling out to passers by to come in and have a coffee.

So it’s been a while since I have reported on my progress with my backyard. I know it’s June so technically the garden should be in full bloom. It is, bar from a few lazy hydrangeas that are just about making an appearance, young buds promising a great colour bloom of white and purple that […]
I have a furry, four legged niece, and her name is Bundy. She is not of the human race, but of a far smellier Staffordshire Terrier dog variety. We had the pleasure of looking after her for an entire week, and lets just say, that this dog is more demanding than any child! Like […]
It is with great excitement that I want to share my latest find, nay…obsession. Rachel Khoo’s “The Little Paris Kitchen” recipe book and TV series are simply fantastic. What makes Rachel so enchanting ? as the french would say her, “Joie de vivre” her genuine love for food, her quirkiness and the fact that she […]
I am one of those people that likes to look at what other shoppers have in their grocery baskets, I stand behind them at the checkouts and I look at all the wonderful things they have selected , I wonder why they picked certain brands over others, I imagine what they will be cooking during […]
