A blog by an Irishwoman, written in both English and Swedish, depending on what humour is on me....
En blogg av en irländska, skriven på svenska och engelska.
Just scroll down to find the English bits among the Swedish, or vice versa.

Ta Gaeilge agam freisin, más é an rud é go bhfuil éinne eile le Gaeilge ag léamh mo bhlagsa.

Ich verstehe auch ein bisschen Deutsch, je parle un petit peu francais och klarar av lite norska med.

Wondering about the background of the blog? They're the Cliffs of Moher, in the neighbouring county, County Clare, 8km long, 700m high, and magnificent. Well worth a visit if anyone is around the West of Ireland

Happy New Year! Gott Nytt År!

Happy New Year everybody, Gott Nytt År allihopa.
I hope that 2017 is a good year for all of us.

A few photos of us at midnight on New Year's Eve:

Above: my Donegal wheel, from Johnny Shiels Spinning Wheels, Carndonagh, Co. Donegal.

Finally, a shot of 3rd daughter plus me, talking out of the side of my mouth, and my wheel. 

I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Year. We had a peaceful Christmas here, glad to have all of us back together again, and to take time to relax. 
 There has been great sadness also, as 2016 and cancer claimed the lives of two young mothers. May they rest in peace. 

I am hoping to continue with the weight loss and the getting fit. I also just want to get more crafting done, especially  knitting and spinning and weaving. 

Other than that I am happy to observe life and nature outside my window in this quiet corner of the Irish country side.
