hank you again for the warm welcome, I already feel very at home here! Glad you’re all as crazy about your pets as I am. I’ll pop over to Pets corner and put up some pics now. I have 3 cats and a dog.

For the Irish contingent, I’m in Bray, Wicklow. The course is in BIFE.

I lived in London for a long time but moved home with the family about 10 years ago. Really didn’t appreciate the huge range of fabric and haberdashery shops there. I used to visit and day dream about what I could do with all the different trimmings and swaths of material. I’ll be relying heavily on internet shopping because I don’t think Hickeys is going to cut it for me!

Some of my inlaws live in Belfast so I pop up there every couple of months. Be good to get some shop recommendations for my next trip. My MIL would be interested too, she’s a great knitter.

PS @Iminei Maus definitely have hair and lovely markings.
If at first you don't succeed, something something..... basically don't give up

Right, it took a while but I've worked out how to include photos of the 3 cats and my dog and popped some up on Pets Corner!

Welcome @Irishseahorse

Yay, another Irish TSP-er who’s also has pets.  :meow: :woof: :D

I’m a blow-in here on the west coast in county cark.
According to the Irish Times, West Cork has the highest proportion of Brits who are living in Ireland. Wonder if we’ll expand our numbers even more after this month.  :D

If DH and I were 10 years younger you would have had us as neighbours a couple of years back.
