something old, something new

a very Short entry this week as i have being working on a new idea.
lots of people come to Lucy's from far away.
people dropping by while on holidays.
some have asked have we an on line shop.
because of the mad bad opening hours
1-6 everyday.
some people find it difficult to get to the shop on time.
others just don't like to leave their house.
for you I've set up
lucysloungeshop
it is just an experiment
i don't know if it will last
you know how changeable i am
but i will try.
oh discipline!

enemy and hero

i have a very bad enemy it has been at my back all my life.
i have decided to out them.
my enemy is chocolate and sweets.
i have a severe addiction to them.
no matter what i do i can't escape.
i had comments lately about the lack of photos of myself in my outfits.
i have being wearing new styles however the photos are so bad of me
i don't have the courage to show them.
i look like the girl that ate all the cream buns.
this summer i have put on a stone.
its all down to them bloody sweets.
you see i don't smoke or drink, sweets are my little enjoyment.
its just got out of control one day you're eating one sweet
the next day its the whole box.
can anyone help me?





the chocolates are the worst.
from aldi called
seriously scrumptious lemon supreme
DON'T TRY THEM
THEM ARE TOO NICE
YOU WILL REGRET IT!
the rest are cheapo penny sweets from the e2 shop
they get you twice because they are such a bargain
and delicious.


now to my hero
i was in wexford last week and in a village called saltmills
lives one of my hero's in life
his name is Sean Finn.
he collects all the items in these photos.
anything steam driven or from steel.
he has about an acre of land full of what looks like junk.
to him are gems.
i always visit his place every time i go there.
i never had the nerve to talk to him
but that day i did and what a sweet heart he is.
its a wonderland.
people like him are true individuals.
they are few and far between they should be treasured.
i treasure Sean Finn. thank you

the electric picnic 09

the electric picnic is a large music and art festival in Ireland.
its on every first weekend in September.
this year i was on the guest list.
it is as nice to say 'guest list' as it is to be on it.
i suppose most of the enjoyment of being on a guest
list is telling everyone about it.
i didn't go for the weekend just for a day, on Sunday, and i really enjoyed myself
despite the usual downpours that accompanies the outdoor events
in Ireland.



.
if i ruled the world this is how it would look.
does any where look like these photos all the time
i would definitely move there.
