It's Time to get back!
Hello and Welcome to my blog. It's been a few years since I last did this so bare with me I am quite rusty at writing, even worse at being disciplined enough to write every day!
Who am I?
My name is Fionakate, I am a homemaker, mother of 2 children who both live in England, soon to be grandmother, crafter, graphic designer and psychic medium. I am as old as my bones and a little older than my teeth!
I currently live in a very rural part of Donegal, Ireland. People often say 'oh you are so lucky, but being in such a rural remote location has it's benefits and disadvantages!
Yes, I am surrounded by amazingly wild rugged natural beauty but we are 3.7km from the nearest shops, we have no immediate neighbours (the house next door is unoccupied) so you have to be very adapt at being organised and comfortable being in your own company, often for weeks on end!
We moved here just before Christmas 2019, my husband is a Chef by trade and has taken a new position as the Head Chef at the An Chuirt Hotel in Gweedore. It has been quite a traumatic move for me, the last place we lived was in the small village of Goleen in West Cork where I had made many friends and acquaintances, I hadn't anticipated moving again but life has a funny way of changing your plans!
I miss being part of a community, saying hello to familiar faces, being able to walk to the shops, Stop for a coffee and just having that feeling of belonging.
As we moved here in winter and then the dreaded covid lockdown happened just as the weather improved I have yet to make any friends here in Donegal, it doesn't help being so remote as unlike a village there is rarely anyone around to even say a simple 'hello, how are you' too!
Luckily, I have a dog to take out on walks, I craft, crochet, design colouring books for adults and I read tarot online, an amateur photographer and I like to cook from scratch. So I have a lot of things to fill my time, many of which I will be sharing in this blog, I will also be sharing interesting things I find on my travels around the internet like recipes, crochet patterns, spiritual wisdom's and basically anything I think interesting.
So, there you go, that's me and a rough idea of the things I will be posting on this blog.
