Beneath My Favourite Tree
In summer that's still and so silent, squirrel munches till rustle of swish from tall hazelnut tree as blackbird catches sight of me, my intention...

Glad to see someone else
Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2025
Glad to see someone else enjoys scrabble Turlough, even though I have no idea what Gaeltacht Scrabble is. Me and my partner have been avid Scrabblers for over twenty years and still can't get enough of it.

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,
Your description of Saint Eigneach's Well, that you say, was a lovely spot. Semi anglicised as Columbkille's Well, that was further anglicised as St Columba's Well, where Saint Eigneach meditated - according to tradition...was...

I agree with Di, Aefelthrith
Posted on Sun, 19 Oct 2025
I agree with Di, Aefelthrith is a typical example of the old saying: 'Love Is Blind.' Now poor Gwladys got even more to worry about.

It's hard to put into words
Posted on Sun, 19 Oct 2025
It's hard to put into words the vivid reminiscences of places visited. Ireland reminds me of a lost past that I will probably never get the opportunity to visit. Your reviews and photos give such great insight and are a pleasure to read Turlough...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,
I felt for you with your description of getting out of bed, it reminded me of last year before I got my hip replacement. I can also understand how you felt about the bed, I have slept in so many second hand beds where the...

This sounds like it could
Posted on Thu, 16 Oct 2025
This sounds like it could have been written about me Jane. I felt much the same as Catherine when I was a teenager, always living inside my own imagination of what I wanted. Having those pep talks with adults felt like a real drag when I left...

Dear Di, there are so many
Posted on Sun, 13 Dec 2015
Dear Di, there are so many chapters in my life that lead me from one situation to another, looking back at the age I am now, it's hard to keep up. I think it all started back in 1975 when I got engaged and it all fell through.From then on I...

You know Di, I was useless at
Posted on Fri, 04 Dec 2015
You know Di, I was useless at linking back all those years ago, but I put them in the dear diary section. I should really have filed this under its title, but again didn't have a clue how to do it. I don't want to touch it too much in case I lose...
