I LOVE galettes and cider.  God bless the French for discovering this combination.

When in France, I cannot get enough of them.  My favourite is inspired by the French tartiflette dish and comes with roblochon cheese, bacon lardons, cooked potato chunks and onions cooked in white wine.  All folded into a cripy galette and melted together.  Trust me, it's so gorgeous!

Ode to Zac

My sisters dog Zac went to heaven on Friday 17th of August at the great doggy age of 11 years and 10 months old.

 

I love my Mam.

He was annoying, smelly & noisy but he was also adorable, fun & super cute and was very much loved by the entire family.

 

I'm ready when you are for my photo shoot.

 

Something's happening.  I'm involved but ready to run away.

 

Did you hear that?  I think you should pick me up.

   

Much to the delight of anyone who ever attended a party at our house, he was renowned for his party attire, and really new how to carry off an outfit.

 

Outdoor picnic or Christmas party - ready for every occasion

We miss you Zacky.
 

Ivy Lou

Ivy Lou Freebush is my sisters cat.  We know she's just a cat.  But she doesn't.

What Ivy does know with feline assurance that she is superior to everyone and everything she encounters.

Aideen sent me this postcard and it says, "This is what Ivy sees when she looks in the mirror".

Which is funny because it's so darn true!
