Apologies for my lack of presence – I am very busy with work and a room refurb – I hope to be back soon!! Watch this space!
In the interim time, another oldie – one of my readers reminded me of this poem, it is one of my favourites!
I never went to Dublin,
or strolled along the shore.
I never walked on Grafton Street,
or wore the pearls you swore.
I never came to visit you,
and relive bygone days;
to welcome ghosts that haunted me,
or weep upon your grave.

A break is as good as a a break – hope it all works out.
Thank you 🙂
It will – it is all just taking longer than I anticipated!
Ditto Alex – catch up soon 🙂
Hi Polly
I feel like I could do with Hermione’s time splitting neclace!
Nice one.
Good to bring out the oldies for those of us who are newbies to your blog 😉
Enjoy your break from blogging. Refurb sounds like a lot of work – but – exciting!
Aw thanks – I’m glad you appreciated it!
I would rather be blogging than refurbing – but hey – I’m still writing 🙂
Excellent!
Aw thanks 😀
But you must come back, I miss you …
I have a return ticket (economy class!)
😀
