First Day

As I did my last epic #100DaysOfHappiness catch up, T played with her teddies in bed next to me (our kitchen table is outside after being treated for woodworm so my bed is my workspace for computer stuff at the moment!) and she asked me if I’d like to nap with her. I love how she’s grown up enough to know that she’s tired enough to nap and pulls the duvet up over her, rolls over and snoozes! How…

After a weekend of my sick bed, I was more than happy to do all the crappy jobs I have been putting off…

The flowers are from a seed box from Lidl and I’m quite impressed with the show!

Lester the dog is an idiot, you can tell from this photo as he’s in the rabbit hutch (I did not make this hutch, I can assure you of that!)

I sorted out under the stairs including the Cardboard Tool Box, sorted…

In a rather lazy effort to recover from an absolutely hectic weekend, we watched H2O: Just Add Water (a compromise for both me and T) in bed for most of the day. We were total slobs and even ate dinner in bed and had lots of lovely cuddles!

I love the look on T’s face in this photo, she was captivated when the girls turned into mermaids!

Lazy Day

(I didn’t take as many photos as I’d have liked! 1. I forgot my DSLR 2. I had a very cranky 3.5 year old Princess T to deal with!)

Disco Cuddles

Early morning disco with Tabs. Everything from The Divine Comedy to Iggy Azalea to The Chordettes.

I can just about scrape a few memories of the last time I visited these caves and obviously I blocked out the 88 dodgy terrifying steep steps into the cave from those memories.

Tabs was very unsure and very nervous but between us both encouraging her and holding her hands and the hope of seeing cave fairies she walked down. At one point when we reached the steps with no back to them (one of my many fears), my whole body froze, my flight instinct kicked in and I thought “you know what, me and T, we can just not go down…” and I was so very ready to turn around but I’m really proud of myself for pushing through the fear and heading down. Now, I must say flip flops are not an ideal choice of footwear for cave tours but I stupidly left my converse by the front door.

The caves are truly beautiful and I want to say magical (and sparkly and slimy according to Tabs). It’s hard to believe people used to give tours down there by candlelight up until the 70s.

Unfortunately  photography is not permitted in the caves so you will have to make do with the cave entrance and the beautiful Galtee mountains in the distance.
