I found another great competition to enter but I need your help…
I asked Michelle if I could use her photo below of Lily in the snow last year – the theme is “Full of Life” and it is to be a winter photo.
So the 4 photos with the most votes are judged by a panel – and the winner gets €10,000. Wow what a prize!!! So you can vote for this photo if you are in Ireland, and you can vote once per day.
We have been having one of the coldest winters ever in Ireland. The temperatures have dropped to -17 in some places, and the lowest we have seen here is about -12! Even in Malmo we would have considered that cold!
It makes life a little difficult though – some of the country roads are impossible to drive on, and as you can imagine, it’s not easy for a window cleaner to be able to work when the water just freezes on the windows!
On the upside though, we have seem some spectacular scenery – sunshine, no wind, blue skies.. and best of all, a frozen lake!!! As I was not working today, I had the chance to dig out my rarely used ice skates and take a spin on the lake! I was so excited as it has been more than 10 years since I was last ice skating. I am definitely very rusty, but I managed not to fall over at least! I think I will just have to go out again tomorrow and practice a bit more!

It was high time I bought my sister a little prezzie, and so I decided to buy her this beautiful one of a kind set of necklace and earrings from ViviBijoux. Virginie takes great pride in making beautiful jewelry from quality materials. The finishing touches that she adds to a gift, and the presentation are an added extra that really makes it special.
This week, Athlone is hosting a Eurofestival, and today, there was an arts & crafts fair at the Civic Square. I took a stroll down there on my lunch break to visit Virginie and Millie, and I fell in love with another of Virginie’s creations! I couldn’t resist this necklace! I love the pattern and the colours, and it will match a lot of the clothes that I wear.
Her online blog and boutique are well worth a visit for a nice treat for yourself, or for a special gift for someone!
I have been working on a website for Millie Harbour to promote and advertise her paintings. Have a look here…
For some reason, on some computers, and some browsers, the thumbnails appear squashed.. if its the case when you have a look, would you comment below with info about which browser and version you are using? Thanks
