It was lovely to have photographer Matt Edge to stay in the house and he stopped to photograph myself and the misses after breakfast. Thanks Matt!

We LOVE our new Donegal blankets supplied by Wendy from "Scout" in Dublin - google the shop - if you are heading that way they have some fantastic stuff.
