Styled By Daddy

Took a trip up to Mount Usher Gardens in Wicklow recently and we highly recommend it. Mammy was away for the weekend so I need to claim full responsibility for the curious choice of leg wear and the general bang of feral, dishevelled disco-waifs emanating from my children. 

"A Fairy Couch"

Grand Archives (2)

More spring cleaning turned this up. I think this was a gathering for Marco Van Basten's 21st at the schoolhouse. Dates it at maybe 1995. Not sure who took the photo or why everyone has their coats on. But it was obviously late. And we're all obviously thankful. 

Gents Derivative / Pooky Turnpike

Home made pizza, horse sculpture, Harry Potter, hand painted faces, home made dresses delivered to exacting specifications in sweatshop conditions. Spoils of the pookie, punkin' punkin' roll along, lollipops and tablets paid for by the tooth fairy. Bedroom makeover (mobiles are for babbies). Ullard optometry, can-do Krispies, the meanie mong, cloudy and a chance of meatballs, two then one. That thing. I eat tamarinds I do. Ba mhaith Bee-Woo. Donadea's gone up to a fiver. Fight bread then the bicker triplets Joey boxing in the kitchen, learning about nocturnal elecrtocity. First draft of The Girl Who Shouted At Toast. 

Sure what else would we be doin?

Some other remnants of the Summer that was, all taken on my phone. There's pictures from Seattle, Ballycastle, Carnalway, Straffan, Monkstown and Scoil Mhuire. The best bit was the Giant's Causeway but due to a cascading technology malfunction, no images of that momentous trip exist.

 Where we picked up some literature for the kids who have everything....
