The Burren

Phase 37 of 829

April 11, 2020April 12, 2020 / iamlauriem / 1 Comment

Well, safe to say the sun is helping.  Today I think I may have moved into another phase.  I don't believe it to be a completely new, or necessarily 'next' phase.  It's just different.  Phase 37 of 829, I'm guessing.  If breaking an addiction takes 12 steps I can only imagine the number of steps … Continue reading Phase 37 of 829

When Nothing Much Happens

November 17, 2017November 17, 2017 / iamlauriem / Leave a comment

Winter is upon us.  I don't particularly announce this because our calendar tells us so, more because - in this house at least - we're finally feeling it in our bones.  So, for this week, we've gone into hibernation mode. It's easy to hibernate in the Burren.  It's been four days since we left the … Continue reading When Nothing Much Happens

As Long As We’re Out, Together

November 5, 2017April 3, 2018 / iamlauriem / Leave a comment

How's your date life?  Lacking in excitement?  Last on the list after 'use a night cream consistently' and 'do more crafty-type-stuff with the kids'?  If you're not nodding enthusiastically, frankly, I don't want to hear from you.  You will only make me feel inadequate and elderly and my husband may want to swap us.  Or, … Continue reading As Long As We’re Out, Together

Good Times Happen In April

April 24, 2017April 25, 2017 / iamlauriem / 3 Comments

I feel it's safe to say that April is a good month.  One of those months that's, you know, popular.  You can't help but like that it's starting to get warm and Spring can officially be felt - but it's not quite Summer, so there's a lot of excited anticipation going on without any of … Continue reading Good Times Happen In April

Nothing Ever Really Stays As-Is

February 27, 2017March 8, 2017 / iamlauriem / Leave a comment

It's been a rainy month - wet in a way that settles and seeps into your bones.  It's hard not to feel betrayed - green shoots are up, there's a stretch in the evening and let's face it, we're all more than ready for a little bit of sun.  But February is forcing us to … Continue reading Nothing Ever Really Stays As-Is

We Took A Walk On A December Day

December 21, 2016March 8, 2017 / iamlauriem / Leave a comment

Just this weekend I had the opportunity to listen to a radio interview with Rob Heffernan, the World Champion, Olympic-medal-winning Irish race walker, and his wife Marian, an accomplished 400m runner.  Their life together kind of blew my mind; raising their family, living their lives - all around the obsession that is Rob's walking career. … Continue reading We Took A Walk On A December Day

A Move Back Home From Home

October 23, 2016November 16, 2016 / iamlauriem / 2 Comments

So we've moved back to the Burren.  The last time we lived here, 'we' were a very newly married couple and now 'we' are four.  It's been just over two years and there have been two babies and - let's face it - a pretty major life overhaul.  When a work project for my husband … Continue reading A Move Back Home From Home
