Hi friends! Oh my lord it is hot – or at least, it was when I was writing and pre-scheduling this post, which I suppose was sometime last week for you. In real-time, I’m currently en route to Bologna, likely thinking about the aperitivo I’ll …
Hi friends! How are you this fine Saturday? Ideally this post finds you taking it easy, coffee in hand, and with an upcoming birthday bake that needs planning. The first two are out of my control, but I can definitely help you with the latter! …
Hi friends! Happy Thursday! How are you? I am so D-E-D dead in this heat – I just can’t handle it! Right now, Wednesday afternoon, it’s a very hot and sunny 28°C here in Bray. The status yellow heat wave warning has successfully kept Boyfriend …
Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Can you believe it’s nearly the end of June already? I’m starting to chip away at my summer bucket list and #3 on the list – eat more ice cream – is what brings me here today. My humble offering for …

A few weeks ago, Boyfriend’s parents treated us to a staycation in Kerry. The trip promised to be relaxing retreat, where we’d spend some QT with Boyfriend’s family. It was a no-brainer. We booked the time off work, packed for all weather types, planned our …
