Welcome to my blog

We moved to Ireland with the notion of building our "dream" home in May 2007 after purchasing the site earlier on that year. Mr C is Irish and originally from Limerick but he remains in the UK during the week, his job is running www.cruise.co.uk and earning the bucks that will hopefully allow us to "live the dream."

It's taken us almost two years but ground will be broken on the site by the end of May 09!! A lot of blood, sweat & loads of tears (all mine!) have gone into this project already, we left a fabulous house behind in Newcastle...and now for my Kevin McLeod bit, "can the new build can live up to my expectations and the old house we left behind"? I'm not sure...keep watching my blog and you'll find out!!

Thank you Child of Prague


Since joining the "Ireland Deserves Sun" campaign and getting my freebie 'Child of Prague' the sun has been out almost non stop, even got to use suntan lotion (oh the excitement!) Apparently this little fella actually guarantees sunshine, so if you want to get one and join the cause click onto www.irelanddeservessun.ie, you'll be helping me out no end, cause sunny days = speedy blockwork!!! Check out the progress made on site in the last two days..............

  1. Glad to be of service, Mrs C.

    Best of luck with the build, and don't forget to use Sandtex on those walls!

    Oh, and keep an eye out for a little thanks from Sandtex in the post...
