Whoop! Whoop! There is a grand stretch in the evening alright!
Folks juggling a bit of family stuff at the mo, so if you see me logged on I’m often not necessarily anywhere near the iPad. Will try and get around to answering the questions when I get a spare mo....usually during school hours

Hiya Sundew! Lovely username btw.
Have you ever gone birdwatching?
Do you have any favourite garden plants?
Thanks
Yes I have gone birdwatching ( wouldn’t be a serious birder....I’m lucky that I can just about name some common garden visitors !) but mainly am content to watch them visit my bird feeders. Love watching the goldfinches having a right go at each over whose turn it is to get the niger seed
Love my garden and have lots of favorite plants. I do love daffodils this time of the year especially the minature ones! I adore fushia and also honesty. I have a huge load of it growing under trees. Adore the silver seed heads in Winter! Ragged robin and borage are also in my garden!0 -
Favourite cheeesy song?
Guilty pleasure?
It’s gotta be the Pina Colada song!
Had a laughing fit the first time I actually listened to the lyrics, driving down the M50 in my then boyfriends car and have loved it ever since ssshhhh don’t tell anyone!
Guilty pleasure....probably The Pina Colada song 0 -

What did you want to be when you 'grew up' and how to close to achieving it did you get?
Favourite day of the year (Non christmas related)?
Wanted to be a Montessori teacher....ended up working for a well know semi- state company for over 15 years doing nothing in relation to teaching, but many work colleagues did need to be “ minded”
Favourite of the year.....believe it or not but I used to like Good Friday especially when living in the big smoke. There was always something rather chilled out about it, with the pubs closed and you could always explore Dublin knowing the scobies were inside in their houses drinking away, whilst you could see Dublin in a different light.
My favourite day of the year or should I say “night” would be the 23rd June “ Bonfire Night” or St. John’s Night which was celebrated in the rural community where I grew up. I remember sharing a house with a Spanish girl years ago and she was astonished that we celebrated the night in some parts of Ireland! ‘Twas big in her neck of the woods!0 -
Lots of good questions so far!
One person in the world you would most like to meet and why?
Favourite place in Ireland to visit?
Have to say I would like to meet George Bush Jr. Politics aside I think you would have absoutely great craic spending a day with him!
My favourite place to visit in Ireland is Glendalough. I have spent quite a few weekends there and it’s glorious to walk around there when all the tourists have gone!
Also love Kilkenny City!Hi Sundew !
Are you a tea or coffee person ?
Where would you choose to live if you won the Euromilliions ?
Definitely a coffee person!
If I won the Euromillions, I would love to live in Mallorca or buy myself a nice gaff overlooking the sea near Dun Laoghaire 0 -

Five Star Michelin posh dining or Christmas Dinner , which would you choose ?
Real or fake Christmas Tree ?
Christmas Dinner wins out all the time!
Real or fake....now this is something that has changed for me. I grew up with a real tree. My family wouldn’t entertain the idea of a fake tree and I was the same. Always loved the ritual of buying the tree and stuffing it in to our small car......and the scent divine!
However, after leaving home and house sharing I ended up surprising my house mates with a small fake tree bought in Argos. That tree whilst not great quality, followed me all around Dublin from house share to house share before I eventually bought my own apartment and I grew quite attached to it.
Even though I still love real trees, it wasn’t convenient to drag a real tree in to an apartment block so donated the old bedraggled tree to the Local charity shop and bought myself a much better quality one in B&Q....still have it nearly 15 years late but I think I’m due an upgrade!
