As long as I can remember this framed sampler hung on the wall of my Granny’s house in Co Down, N Ireland. I have always thought it was beautiful, but never knew much about it’s origin. Now it hangs on my wall, and I still don’t know much about it! My mum remembers that it…

Thoughts on Valentines Day

I know it is still January, but I have been challenged to write a Valentines Day post in January, so here goes! It seems to me that how Valentines Day is celebrated here in N Ireland seems to be evolving. When I was a teen it was all about annonyomous cards with SWALK or HOLLAND…
