Thoughtful Tuesdays: Contradictions

By Eithne Cullen Welcome to my January 2023 ‘Thoughtful Tuesday’ page.  I hope the celebrations of Christmas and the New Year have left you rested and ready for whatever the future brings. It’s a funny feeling, seeing out the old year and greeting the new. We think of the old year as ...

Thoughtful Tuesdays: Journey Towards The End Of 2022

By Eithne Cullen Welcome to Thoughtful Tuesday’s December page. The end of the year brings lots of change, lots of emotion and provokes plenty of thought.

Introduced By Holly King Continuing our theme of ‘Home’, for this Monday Moments we’re looking at how we bring home with us wherever we go. Whether we’re travelling abroad, moving to a new house or leaving our family one, our past homes remain with us and can be brought out in ...

Thoughtful Tuesdays: Worlds Apart

By Eithne Cullen Welcome to September's Thoughtful Tuesday page. This September has been overshadowed by the death of the Queen.

Monday Moments: The Journey Of Writing
