WHAT is wrong with getting old? Why is it suddenly a trend to knock years off your age? Growing old is a luxury not everyone is granted so enjoy your years on this earth and don’t try and hide your age. It has almost become an insult to refer to […]

I MAY yawn every time that I have to explain the internet to my grandparents, but truly I am not 100% sure what it is myself. I guess that it is a bank of never-ending information, a platform for all of our inner thoughts, a way of connecting and communicating with […]

THIS week I was lucky enough to be a guest at a wedding of an old school friend in the beautiful city of Prague. It is a wonderful, magical city and the wedding day was one of those days that you will never forget. Memories were created that will last forever. […]

  I AM going to agree with the masses on this one, and say that education is important. I genuinely believe that if are lucky enough to get an education, then you are pretty much set for life. This is what I have been brought up to believe. But more recently, […]

HERE in the Kindom of Kerry, we are blessed to have many talented people in all walks of life. Over the next few weeks I will be meeting some of these people who will give us an insight into their lives and their work and talents. We start this process […]

  WE are all victims of routine. We all like what is familiar. Even though sometimes we dip our toes to test out what is different, eventually that is adopted to our routine as well. Recently, instead of dipping my toes in, I actually travelled across the water to America. […]

THE June bank holiday is just gone; and we haven’t seen a ray of sun. Usually, this is where things begin to get very depressing in the town square. I normally do not hold much faith in the regular Irish citizen to remain upbeat and positive, but on this occasion, […]

SOMETIMES there is someone who is on our TV screen that seems to be part of the family. We enjoy his banter and opinions, we love his laugh, we love his catchphrase and we never turn the channel when his face is on. This person for me was Bill O’Herlihy. […]

A FASHION fundraiser was held in Ardfert on Friday night in aid of an Irish charity building and refurbishing schools in the townships in South Africa.

  LIFE is one big mix of due dates, deadlines and destinations. Thankfully, I am too young to have to worry about tax returns and mortgage payments; but even if it is as simple as having to make that weekly call to my dad, there is always something to strive towards. […]
