Happy International Women's Day. It's been big in our house. Christine held a coffee morning yesterday. She had baked a variety of her customary luscious and interesting cakes and biscuits. It was in aid of Merchant's Quay Ireland and she...Read More

This is my favourite love poem.   https://vimeo.com/299621427   By the way, this is the luscious thing I referred to a little while back. I did the art work about five times and the voice recording about 25 times until...Read More

Photographic rediscovery

Posted on 15 September, 201815 September, 2018 by David Meredith

We've been talking about buying a replacement camera for ages and we finally bought one a couple of weeks ago. It's a Canon Powershot and is slightly, but not much, more sophisticated than a point and click camera. Whereas in...Read More
