Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord.
I hope you have enjoyed your week so far… it has certainly thrown up one or two surprises for us.
One being the email I received earlier in the week from lovely blogger and author Cheryl Oreglia.
Cheryl and her husband Larry were on a cruise around the UK stopping off at various points and taking to the road on their cycles. Those of you who are familiar with Cheryl’s Living in the Gap posts will know this intrepid couple are well known for their road trips with its ups and downs!
Anyway the surprise was they were going to be in Ireland from Wednesday and would like to meet up if possible. You bet it was! We arranged to connect on Friday at Powerscourt house, gardens and distillery for lunch. And had the company of the garden’s crows for our photographs.
It was such a delight to spend what was a far too short a time with this wonderful couple..Here are just two of photos taken when the sun popped out at just the right moment. From left to right… Larry, Cheryl and David.
Hopefully not the last time we will meet but certainly something we will treasure.
Toni Pike very kindly posted a wonderful review for Tales from the Irish Garden to her blog on Friday which finished the week on another high note…. Thanks so much Toni ♥
