About Flying Gurnards: Haven't seen any Flying Gurnards lately. Still like odd stuff. And sometimes I do stupid stuff and call it spontaneous. True story. I also don't have travelling shoes. They broke before I left home (omen?) and since then it's been mostly bare feet and flipflops although I keep killing them and consequently am on my fourth pair. I miss home. And everybody that makes it what it is. I feel fortunate doing what I do where I am. And I am still full o' love for life!

Thanks for reading Flying Gurnards & Other Concoctions.


With tons of love, big hugs and sunny smiles

Canucks in Northern Ireland

Two Gal Pals of mine came all the way from Canuck Land and spend ten days traipsing through the cities and countryside of the Emerald Isle. On the route to the Giant's Causeway lies Cushendall Caves, not advertised on the touristy thingy brochures that I had gathered up for their visit but Shantelle pointed them out, and told me that it was one of the locales where 'Game of Thrones' was filmed. I'd never been inside a cave in N-Ireland before and we drove there - past some goats - to the ocean where we came across some magnificent caves. The three of us also visited Tollymore Forest and gazed over the Mourne Mountains which have been featured in the same HBO series. I even saw my first cork tree! The castle gardens of Antrim revealed fresh fiddleheads (yum) and Belfast satisfied the visitors with food porn in the shape of Ulster fry, baps and who knows what else at the famous St. George's weekend market.

My photo
I vividly remember the first time I saw a pair of flying gurnards. It was a mesmerizing sight, not only due to my infinite love of unknown oddities but also because of the sheer grace and allure they exuded.
What would life be like without enigmatic experiences such as these?

I've dusted off my travelling shoes in hot pursuit of remedies to alleviate Twitchy Feet Syndrome and its overriding nomadic nature - confronting it with a dapper dash of spontaneity, love and delightfulness
