Picking back up my Cross Stitch again has been absolutely fantastic. I feel so calm and content when I stitch – maybe it is the whole online life overload where it is emails/news alerts/twitter feeds/facebook updates – I have been feeling more and more like I have had enough of the whole thing!

#blogjune – Day 3 – Nigh Nigh Uncle Wal
We were at Ascension Day Mass last night and my phone started vibrating. At the end of Mass I checked and could see mum had rang. We raced home and we both knew what it was. Uncle Wal, who wasn’t my Uncle at all, had passed away. Both of my grandfathers died when I was…
#blogjune – Day 2 – Going Dutch
The past weekend was the Memorial Day long weekend here so we decided to venture to Pennsylvania to spend some time in Lancaster County. I spent three days simply sighing at the beauty of the countryside. It was magnificent and so pristine. The farms looked like scenes from a historical postcard. It was just perfect….

I could play this on repeat for ages. Saying that, it used to scare me when I was little-Nellie!
Devastation & Destruction
I spent last night glued to the TV watching live coverage of the tornado outbreak that happened across the country last night. The coverage on The Weather Channel was absolutely superb through last night and they were also fantastic during the awful night of Tornados that hit Arkansas in April. Last night they were live…
Saturday
Girl day. Upper West Side. Brunch at Cafe Luxembourg – best steel cut oatmeal EVER! An overload of gossip and girl talk. Seeing Bridesmaids at the AMC Lincoln Center. All Awwwwing over Chris O’Dowd. Love these girls!
Baking up a storm
Last Wednesday night we braved the frightful weather for a bread baking class at Le Pain Quotdien in Soho. It was some of the most fun I had ever had. There were only six of us in the class, we came home with a cab full of bread (we even gave a baguette to the…
Have a Heart!
Tomorrow night we are walking the in the 2011 Start! Wall Street Heart Walk and Run. Bill is a great supporter of this cause and this will be his fourth year both as a participant and major fundraiser – he has raised over $15,000 for the AHA over this time. I have the honor of…
