I just discovered your site and am having smooch fun! Your recipes and stories are wonderful. I am so glad you are still currently blogging! We are planning an Irish Christmas next year for 25 family members and thesis a great resource. We are also visiting Ireland on a Gate 1 Tour in May 2020. We are so excited. My family heritage is half Irish (Cavanaugh) and half German (Myers), both sides came to the U.S.A, in the mid 1800's but still proud of our roots. Thank you for your inspiration. Merry Christmas

It's lovely to connect with others who love Ireland like I do. You have a busy year ahead of you in 2020. Have a wonderful time on your trip to Ireland in May.
