A few Key West landmarks including Hemingway's House and the southernmost Point made out of Lego.
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!

Mmmmm soup!
It's soup weather! Very cold here in Ireland with snow and sleet expected on Sunday.
Next door to my work is the Draiocht Arts Centre with a theatre and gallery. Betelnut Cafe is based in the Draiocht and the do delicious homemade soups. Today they have Butternut squash with coconut & lime (I chose this one!) or Leek, potato & rosemary. Delicious!
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.

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!
