About me

Gender Female
Occupation Hausfrau par excellence ;- )
Location Allensbach, Lake Konstanz, Germany
Introduction I am an Irish woman living by Lake Konstanz in the German-Swiss border region. I arrived here in 2008 after a 21 year 'stop over' in New York City. The aim of this blog is simple: To give those who 'pop by' a moment of pleasure in the comings and goings of their daily life. I post anything that I think is worth sharing - like MY opinions for example. Or stories about fun or interesting things I enjoyed. I post photos and links to videos too. On a good day my contribution of musings, photos, or video links may reach to give the reader/viewer a smile; on those rare excellent days, perhaps even a down right chuckle. Being born in Ireland, I can't help but to see the world 'a little bit other ways' than most. Like most people born on the island - I consider that a good thing. That perspective will surely present itself in my postings. Thus you have Irish Stew for the Soul, if you will.
Interests Cycling, conversation - high or low brow I am not fussy, travel, humanity, taking photos, my husband, good food, country life i.e. the Allensbach area, city life i.e. New York City, my hometown Kilkenny City is definitely up there too, any thing that makes me laugh not least my brother W.C., watching an excellent game of hurling or camogie - the greatest games on grass!
Favorite Movies Singing in the Rain, Thrillers with lots of thrill and not too much spills of the blood and guts variety. I love love love Ms. Marple ´who done its´.
Favorite Music Early Rock n Roll, Traditional and contemporary Irish - Sharon Shannon rocks! And U2 ´ain´t so sloppy´either. Classical music, any thing by either of the Strausses. In addition, there are about 7 Hymns which always effect me the way a good song should.
Favorite Books Agatha Christie, and other murder mysteries with lots of mystery but not too much blood and guts. See Movies above.

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?

I would of course wear what I always wear to fancy balls - my orange wooly jumper and my matching orange peep toe satin high heels!
