Yesterday I told you all about how we got on when we travelled with Stena Line to Wales and today I’m going to give Hafan Y Mor Holiday Park a review.
Confession time. Before this trip, I’d never actually stayed overnight in a holiday park. Hands up. Who remembers Butlins?

Last weekend (the May Bank Holiday) I was offered the chance to travel to Holyhead with Stena Line. Would you believe that I had never had the pleasure of taking any decent sized ferry to the UK before? Nevermind travelling Stena Line with a family! Continue reading
It’ll come as no surprise to some of my readers that I have been working on something bigger than this blog; the next step if you will.

So Seachtain na Gaeilge is over and I’ve been left with 14 days worth of podcasts. I thought now would be as good a time as any to review how I got on with the podcasts. Continue reading
Regular readers of my blog will know that I have a bit of a love affair with Tayto. They’ve just issued a new limited edition six-pack entirely “As Gaeilge” which will be sold nationwide for the next 8 weeks. Remember the now infamous (pictured) Real Chocolate Tayto?
Call this post a review of sorts, in effect it is. This is a review of a year in the life of an Irish food blogger, but it also a way of sharing some tips and tricks I picked up along the way. Continue reading
Stuck for a last minute present for a foodie? Looking for a book that captures modern Irish cooking and a sense of place? Then my book review for the 3rd day of my 12 days of Christmas series may be for you. Continue reading
Starting today, I am aiming (eek) to have a post a day in the run up to Christmas with some treats and ideas for gifts on a budget. Today the lovely Keogh’s Farm have a hamper for my readers to win! Continue reading
