Life is an amazing and interesting journey insofar as the way in which new friendships start. A few years ago I was involved in organising a Christmas festival in Newcastle West when I received a tweet from a “Roisin Meaney” offering to help out by doing some children’s storytelling sessions. I’m not one to look…… Continue reading A Meaney Full Friendship
I promised in my last post to tell you all about the Belfast Food Tour I did on my most recent trip North. The infamous St George’s Market is where you meet the tour guide, Caroline Wilson. It is also the starting point of the Belfast Food Tour. Caroline took a large group of us…… Continue reading (Goat) Kidding Around on the Belfast Food Tour
I have been a busy bee the past couple of weeks hence the lack of posting. The plague came to visit the Noonan household as did the break the washing machine fairy. Very bad timing on both counts. Poorly kids meant that they had to stay at home instead of travelling North with me to…… Continue reading When Sharon met Donal at Harry’s Shack
The first time I enjoyed the elegant afternoon tea experience was many moons ago with my parents and sisters in Co Cavan’s Slieve Russell Hotel. I can remember when multiple tiered stands overflowing with goodies arrived at the table – one or two would have been plenty for us. Most recently the venue was Co…… Continue reading Afternoon Tea Creates a Grey Area

For an hour you could find me alongside fellow West Limericker (by residence only he likes to point out) Chef Wade Murphy of Restaurant 1826 Adare and his second in command for the day, Frank who…… Continue reading Galway Girl
For us a night out in Dublin means lots of organising. Firstly we have to ensure that the date we have in mind suits that of our good pals living in the big smoke. If we can synchronise that, it’s a double whammy because we have a comfy bed for the night. Babysitters (overnighters in…… Continue reading A New Chapter
Food writer, Dee Laffan, was a January 2015 guest on my radio show, Best Possible Taste. She shared her 10 new year “food” resolutions, one of which was to try new recipes regularly. I tend to go through phases where I’ve a fridge full of homemade creations and then nothing for ages. Recently in the Sunday…… Continue reading Getting in a flap…
A new year can only mean one thing and that is New Year’s Resolutions. I will endeavour to make more of an effort to post here on the blog regularly. From chats with family and pals over the festive season, it would appear that more people read it than I thought and after some gentle encouragement, here…… Continue reading New Year, New Plans
I’m not a fan of the swimming pool. Maybe it’s because I’m not much of a swimmer. I can tread water long enough to say an Act of Contrition but hopefully I will never find myself in a position doing the 2 things simultaneously. Maybe it’s because I don’t relish the idea of being in…… Continue reading Swim Along with Me!
