I would like to share some much treasured memories of my travels in South of India with you all. Somehow being in Gozo reminds me of my time in India, not sure what it is that brings up the memories but there you are. A page out of my travel journal describes a trip that […]
FLASHBACK TO SOUTH INDIA
Some weeks ago now I had the opportunity to visit my native country again for a short time. So it was with delight that I departed from Dublin airport to arrive to the welcome of my dear sister Josephine in Brussel. It had been many years, since before covid, that I had been back. Her […]
A SHORT VISIT TO lIER IN BELGIUM
I guess I’m reblogging a lot lately, to be honest I’m enjoying re reading older posts, reminiscing I suppose.
I cannot believe that yet another week has passed by! Cooler now and the leaves are turning multi-coloured, while some are twirling lazily off the trees, and covering the front garden with a brown rustling carpet of glorious scented autumn! I’ve been busy over the last few days and I know that I have quite […]
THE NIGHTS ARE DRAWING IN
Another blog post from my archives, this one fom quite a few years ago 😀
‘Coming Home’ is the name of a special, and I would say, a poignant exhibition which has been running all summer in the Art Centre in Skibbereen town. It aims to commemorate and indeed give value and respect to all the many Irish who died during one of the biggest calamities that hit this land. […]
COMING HOME
Im reposting this post from 2018.
I attended a Cork histories conference in UCC yesterday and a new acquaintance started to talk about this particular exhibition . And this morning, by chance, WordPress brought it up from my archive.
The exhibition featured the world’s largest collection of Great Irish Famine-related art, sourced from Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University.
There are a fair number of beautiful and peaceful beaches around the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and Inchidoney is one of them.
Apart from a wide and far reaching view of the Atlantic, I just saw a few people walking their dog, some people just sauntering along, and signs of children having build sandcastles. The warm but stiff breeze made me giggle a little inside, I have always loved a strong warm wind, and who doesn’t, it’s very refreshing and it blows old cobwebs away.
And I found more than peace, there is always something interesting to see.
Seaweed and shells
It has been a summer filled with activies; walks, garden visits, gardening, cultural activities, joining in group outings, visits to wonderful places with family and friends. Now it’s a time to slow down and enjoy some good memories.
Last week there was the yearly Art Festival in our town of Skibbereen. It is getting better every year, and what nicer way to explore it than with my two growing grandchildren, who are little artists in their own way, and they take an intelligent interest in art. So we set off on our exploration […]
DELIGHTS OF ART AND YOUNG MINDS
