They're habitual car booters and I asked them was there anyone selling lovely cakes, described you a bit.<BR/><BR/>They said they think they saw you, it started to rain and you put up a gazebo. You? If I'd have remembered you were going to be there I would have popped out.bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458929948666472435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-89125637935005233942008-07-01T07:30:00.000-07:002008-07-01T07:30:00.000-07:00I think you're right, morgor, don't feel guilty.

That would certainly have been a concern of old, but after having children (and getting to name them) you sort of lose the need to personalise things so much, or at least I have.

I remember the day vividly, sunny, middle of May and snow on the Dublin mountains!<BR/><BR/>She was a champion cake baker and bread and scones too. She used to arrive early at wakes with her fare so nobody would see her, she didn't seek the praise that the pavlova women wanted. They always arrived in the middle of the wake.<BR/><BR/>One of her best was Jamaica Ginger Cake. The running joke was to ask her "Did Jamaica Ginger Cake?" "I did" she'd always reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-22874285577502861052008-06-29T10:27:00.000-07:002008-06-29T10:27:00.000-07:00Sorry about your mother, jothemama.

Not trying to keep the thoughts separate from the memories ... take your little girl too ... what a sweet thing for a 5-year-old to say!Rechruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554485116188592612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-6568236334911539362008-06-28T16:34:00.000-07:002008-06-28T16:34:00.000-07:00Groan!

Your local paper might have more, I'm sure there's more than Balbriggan around. TheGreystones one is well organised, and grand, and I hear god things about Dun L too -you're definitely too far away though! Unless you could combine it with something else - there's a nice farmer's market in the People's park, and Itsabageland Mao Cafe and a nice home decor shop, Meadows and Byrne up from the Station. Lovely walks along the sea or up the pier.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-34114535145597198872008-06-28T15:51:00.000-07:002008-06-28T15:51:00.000-07:00if dun laoighre wasn't so bloody far away i'd go t...if dun laoighre wasn't so bloody far away i'd go to sample the goods! by the way, is there a website with all the car boot sales listed? i went to one in balbriggan before my holidays, and it wasn't great, a lot of dodgy merchandise, like bootleg dvds, despite a lot of gardi around, and a lot of people trying to sell what looked like the complete unsorted and uncleaned contents of somebody's attic...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
