Hello friends. Books can be an escape from the real world as well as a reminder of it. The books I recommend here will enlighten, frighten and enthral. My love of reading has encouraged me to start a book club on Instagram. What does that mean? To be honest, it just means I review a

“Golden Girls” is our ‘Style Not Age’ theme for December, chosen by Emma. And my friends have really outdone themselves in their outfits, embracing the golden girls prompt in spades. I went for a less full-on approach as you will see. How are you all doing after Christmas? It can be a stressful time for

Hello, my friends. Maybe some of you have noticed that I have been slow about posting recently. I guess life has got in the way. The world is in turmoil. One of my best friends has been very ill and I lost interest in the blog. But recently, I had a lovely email from a

It was Jacqui’s turn this month and she chose ‘Full Skirts’ as her prompt. I guess you either love them or hate them. I love the full skirt on other people, but I feel they can be tricky to style. If you are neither tall nor slim you might need to wear high heels and

The Merchant Hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Belfast. There is so much within a short walking distance of the hotel: great shopping, a variety of pubs and restaurants such as The Crown Liquor Saloon and plenty of iconic/historic landmarks e.g. City Hall, The Albert Clock and the Titanic attraction.

Hello my friends. ‘The trees are in their Autumn Beauty’ and so I decided that Autumn Hues might be an appropriate prompt for ‘Style Not Age’. Can you believe that we are heading into November? In Ireland, we have changed over to our winter time and we all had an extra hour in bed on

Let me tell you why I ended up on a tour around the George Horn . a few weeks ago. I met co-owner Gerard at the launch of Helen McAlinden’s autumn/winter collection. More on that later! I had taught Gerard about thirty years ago. He had been living in New Zealand, but returned to Dublin

Second-Hand September was Gail’s idea! And I knew it would be a challenge for me. I used to shop in second-hand, charity and vintage shops when I was in college! But I got out of the habit in recent years. My favourite was Jenny Vander, which opened in George’s Street Arcade in 1974, the year

WHY DID I HAVE A CO2 LASER TREATMENT? I want to look as good as I can for my age. That’s the truth. I eat healthily, I walk and I ‘do’ yoga. I go to a physical therapist regularly to look after my aches and pains. So, when it comes to my face, I have
