This news from Brisbane, Australia, disturbed me greatly, and I had to share. An 80-year-old woman spent a lot of money to go on a cruise. Passengers took a small cruise ship, the Coral Adventure, and docked at Lizard Island, a...

This afternoon I booked us a short break in the Donegal Gaeltacht for next weekend. It is sure to be cold and wet but we don’t mind that. The house we’re staying in is on the shore just north of Doirí Beaga, about four hours drive...

Anna @xFiacre - I always blame the parents. I know, and I know very well, that my parents would have never let us do something like that.

There is a new study out that shows there may be good reason behind which arm we get our vaccinations in. This could help the body's immune system react more quickly. Isn't that interesting? So, as in theater it seems to be...

An interesting news story tells of male humpback dolphins off the coast of Western Australia using sea-sponges as wigs to attract mates. This behaviour has only been seen in a small number of areas off our northern coasts....

There’s a smell of decay and nostalgia floating in the night air here. Someone’s been burning the autumn leaves they’ve raked up in their garden and I’m loving it. Smells like this take me back to various times in my life, happy...

This afternoon, as I was readying myself to prepare dinner, I bethought to myself to open a bottle of wine so that once the dinner is in the oven my wife and I could share an aperitif as we waited. Tonight I’m proposing chicken...

Judy Evans @xFiacre We've been so lucky not to have encountered such situations within the immediate family. Sometimes I think every family is dysfunctional to some degree.
