It has been a marathon year all round I think. I won't forget 2014 in a hurry. Overall its been a good year, probably down to not getting to Galway on schedule ;-) maybe next year!

Happy Christmas and lots of love to you all from New York City. xo
IE I do look forwards to the story of you getting Himself to Galway - I know it will make wonderful reading like all your posts. All best wishes to you, Cx
Frances, that's most kind of you - I've recently returned from reading your first post of the year which is always a pleasure to read and to see your photos of your wonderful city. Love to you, Cx
And to you, Clare - I wish you every writing success in 2015. Cx
