Check this baby out!

New Coach handbag - it made from such lovely soft leather.....and it is orange!!

Bought it in the Coach Outlet Store in Key West.  Coach only arrived in Ireland about a year ago (they have a concession in Arnotts Department Store) so are quite in vogue here.

I love this bag because I think it is a little bit funky because of the colour but still very classic because of the style.

Watch out!

Watch out, Bones is about!

Packing away Christmas

Took all the ornaments off my tree and packed them away.  I got these really handy decoration storage boxes in Dunne Stores just before Christmas.  They are so convenient - I wish I bought another one.

Next year if we are going away for Christmas I may not put up a tree......I'll see!

Detox after my holidays

Arrived home this morning and started my post holiday detox.  After all the lovely meals I had on hols I now have a few lbs to lose. 

I made a big pot of green soup to have for my dinner. The soup is made of butternut squash, parsnip, caramelized onions, garlic, kale and cabbage.  it looks a bit revolting but i have to tell that it doesn't taste too bad!

I'll keep you posted on my progress!

Southernmost Point

Key West is the Southernmost city in the USA.  It is closer to Cuba than Miami.

Here is a picture of the Southernmost Point marked by a giant buoy.  It was very busy when I took the photo as the Ragnar Relay racers had just arrived in town.

Bike Town

Key West is what I would consider a bike friendly town.

Here are a few photos of cyclists in KW.  I think there is something very timeless about people on bikes.

Homeward bound.....

We had a lovely last KW meal in Santiago's Bodega.

Sadly we get on the road for Fort Lauderdale tomorrow morning. After spending a night there we then fly back to Ireland on Monday and will arrive in to Dublin on Tuesday morning.  We are sad to leave the island after a wonderful holiday.
