Off to Edinburgh for the weekend to catch up with friends, potter about, eat good things and gossip.

In the meantime…

1. Check out Homepages – brought to you by Catherine Brodigan,  it’s a unique collection of stories and photographs, the first of its kind in Ireland. The nation’s best bloggers hold forth on the theme of “home”, covering everything from pets and expat life to parenting and the Kellogg’s Variety Pack. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and thought-provoking, it promises a captivating read and showcases some of Ireland’s best undiscovered writing talent.

All proceeds from the sale of this book, compiled on an entirely voluntary basis from submissions made via this website, go directly to Focus Ireland, who provide services and support for people who are homeless across Ireland.

The book is now on sale for €14 via Lulu.com on a print-on-demand basis. Click here to order your copy!

My copy is winging its way to me in the post as I type and I can’t wait to check it out! Congratulations to Catherine on this brilliant project

2. Coming along to the Bloggers Christmas lunch in Dublin on Tuesday 16th December? If so, I’ll see you there. Many thanks to Niall for organising this get together.

3. And last, but certainly by no means least, Ireland’s favourite Swearing Lady is back! Huzzah!
