Good morning world! Today women from more than 180 countries will take part in One Billion Rising, a global demonstration calling for an end to violence against women.

      May Morning in Willowfield By Jane Gilheaney Barry Is there anything more lovely, than a hazy field of cows at the end of May.

    • The Great Gatsby – Language, Style, Emotion… May 18, 2013
      Sometimes when I go to see a movie I wonder what’s wrong with people because if I listened to reviews what would I be watching? Would it be, as seems the case with awards ceremonies that the movies deemed to deal with the ‘big’ subjects would win out? Industry ‘cool’ movies deal with politics, crime, […]

      Hello everyone something different on the blog today. My first stab at ‘flash fiction.’ I won’t say too much about it but I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it and of course I’d love to hear your thoughts : ) Web Definition: Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme […]

    • Coming up Roses by Martha Gilheaney May 7, 2013
      As umbrellas magically transform into impossibly long stemmed roses I feel a growing excitement. For the second year I will know what summer is. Rome, like most European cities is dark and gloomy in winter and while the idea of globe trotting in a direction so as to shun the darkest season is appealing, my […]

    • May Day May 2, 2013
      The lovely month of May. Yesterday was May Day or to to give its pagan name Bealtaine the beginning of summer with ancient traditions in Ireland of flower wreaths and bonfires to protect cattle, crops and people and to encourage growth. I have memories of the doorsteps in town bedecked with flowers on this day. […]

    • Summer Play List April 28, 2013
      Yesterday the sun shone we spent a few hours in a garden centre and now all I can think about is summer. Isn’t it funny how even in a climate like ours memories of summer days and hopes for long hot summers never fade. We are always hoping. When I need summer I sometimes cook […]
