Life on the Avenue

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

This week - 30 years ago!!

It's incredible to think that on the 25th of May, thirty years ago(!), myself and my twin sister along with our thirty or so classmates made our First Holy Communion.

Our teacher was called Miss Murphy and at the time we were best friends with Alice, who, would you believe, is still our best friend!!

Our dresses cost £16 and were bought in BHS. We had a plain veil with a floral headpiece. After our communion our mother switched out the white sashes for blue sashes and we wore our dresses to parties and other events.

Incredible to think that it was so long ago.......it certainly went fast!
