A new love in my life


You never know what lays in store for you. Driving along a country road, this little bundle appears in the middle of the road right in front of me. She owes her life to Abs brakes as my car came to a stop less than six inches from her. Although I have never been a cat lover, I just could not leave her on the road and be probably killed by the the next car to come along. So I brought her home with me and now, despite many encounters with her sharp nails, we are inseperable. And I named her "Jimmy". It's nice tobe different

Joining the horsey set

The annual Horse Show in Dublin'sRDS, is fast approaching. Ladie's Day is scheduled to fall on August 6th and I'm seriously thinking of giving it a lash. All depends on the nerves holding up and of course, in these recessionary times, everything must be done within [limited] budget.
--A quick check list, = Dress, shoes, hat, clutch/bag and unless a miracle happens with our weather, an umbrella.

I'm a frequent visitor to Manchester. On one of my trips there, I paid a visit to Lisa and Zara at Transfixed. Right next door to their , "state of the art", salon in Beehive Mill, is the FireFly photography studio. I spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon there, getting a makeover from the girls and then onto Carina to get in front of her magic lense. A great experience, that I would highly recommend.
I felt like the woman in the ad for Barry's Tea,-- Ah!- I was no beauty,- , but I was beautiful that day".

Everyone is doing it but me

Everyone who is anyone is the proud possessor of a , "Blog" and I don't want to be left out of the action. I hope to use this space to tell the world, or more accurately, the tiny minority who might be interested, about my obsession with fashion, my frequent journeys to Manchester and various other activities that capture my interest, most notably, travel and ballroom dancing.
