years
on this planet... breathing on my own...
Just back in home town after spending 2 nights in the West of Ireland... had a great time... one of highlights was vising Kylemore Abbey - home to Benedictine nuns... beautiful place.
I'm making a Banoffi pie for my family this evening... will be spending some times with them this evening/tonight and tomorrow it's off to Belfast for 2 nights !! I'm tracking my spending and hoping to pay for the 2 trips out of my April and May budgets...
I'm kinda of a delayed reaction guy... being 30 hasn't affected me yet... but I have decided to look on it as follows:
There are things I didn't experience in my 20s that I would have liked to - due to shyness, low self-esteem, lack of practice, lack of courage and even fear of a lot of work....well I've decided to look at my 30s as a do-over of my 20s (with the benefit of hindsight)...
So that when I reach 40, I can sit down, drink a coffee and think "yeah, what a ride !!"
It is funny that 10 years into the future seems so far way but 10 years into the past seems like last week ? hehe
Here's to health, happiness and Fun !!! :-)
30 it is then :-)

I had to google Kylemore Abbey. What a view the photos from the lake show!. Did you get to visit the walled gardens? Last night I dreamed I moved into a walled neighborhood within a walled town. There is no such thing as either anywhere in the USA that I know of. But there are some walled gardens. I love that cozy sense of enclosure, privacy, and safety. In my own small city garden I have planted narrow hedges to enclose the back section. Some visitors really do not like that enclosure and ask to sit out front instead. I probably need to trim those hedges this week, now that they've finished blooming....I'm going to search for online photos of the gardens at Kylemore.
