Eye make-up remover and facial cleanser, cotton pads and balls, and a face cloth too. Then I was sent an Enjo facial microfibre cloth for […]
Spring in North West Ireland Spring is a wonderful time to visit the Northwest of Ireland. The winter mosses and terms are all around the sides of the road and laneways, adding a pretty touch to everything; even the top of fence posts. The sky becomes bluer by the day, and the temperature warms. Bees […]

Guinness Factory Tour in Dublin Ireland Our 7-day road trip has come to an end. We get caught in roadworks getting the car back in time to the Airport. One great thing is we were able to collect from one airport and drop back to another with no drop-off fee. We make it at 2 […]

It was built about 3200 BC, during the Neolithic period, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids! Can you believe that? So based on this, we have to go and have […]
