Thanks for dropping by my blog, I'm very envious of the lady that lives on the Blasket Isles each Summer too, she is there completely alone apart from the seals :)

Hi Pat,

Hope you and yours are well and had a great xmas. I've been away from blogging for a while as life has been so hectic. Guilt creeps in when there is so much work to do around the house. Anyway, this was just a quick pop by to say hello and that the dresses are beautiful, real works of art.
kind regards
