Aishling's Day in the Life #1: Carrick on Shannon

Steve and I took a trip to see Kerrie for the day so I decided to take some photos and do a day in the life. I've only ever done one other "day in the life" for the #LetsTalkBlogChallenge and have always wanted to start doing more of them so I will start a new series! :D


On the way to Carrick on Shannon, first thing we done was stop at Whyte's shop in Legan to get a bottle of water. It was a lovely day and nice and warm so we needed all the water!

It's a fairly long drive but some good music and nice weather helps it go by quickly.

In the town of Carrick on Shannon it's quite old and quaint with shops and restaurants taking up space in old buildings. We were lucky enough to visit when it was quieter than usual so there was a nice relaxed feel about the place.

You can park along the Shannon just beside the marina and also take a walk long it. It is very pretty!


Steve enjoying his day out! Aww :P

We walked down passed the bridge but didn't venture any further and said we would do so next time.

Then a cute little swan decided to say hello!

Time to say goodbye to Mr. Swan and be on our way before those stormy clouds get us!

Our last stop was this beautiful and amazing smelling shop that sells all things Lavender! Bath bombs, soaps, candles, moisturisers! It's just wonderful especially if you're a fan of Lavender like me! I will try and take more photos of the inside next time. Also there are little witches and bats filled with Lavender that I NEED to get next time I visit! Eeeeee! :D


That's all for this post! Hope you enjoyed! I will be sure to have more Day in the Life posts soon!
Oh and all photos are taken with my iPhone and edited in all different apps! :)

Until next time, thanks for reading!

Let's Talk Blog Challenge - Aishling's Day in the Life

This is week one of the #letstalkblogchallenge and if you don't know what that is here's a quick explanation in the words of creator @sarah_hamersley Sarah's Blog.

So this is going to be a 6 week challenge, with a different topic each week that we'll write and tweet about. The plan is to write and schedule our posts for Monday at 8pm and then tweet our posts on twitter at that time, using the hashtag #LetsTalkBlogChallenge. That way every Monday at 8pm all our posts are live and we're all online to interact and share our posts with each other. I'll be online from 8-9pm every Monday, reading and commenting on all the posts and chatting to you all, just so there is a sense of community and interaction.

The topic for this week is; Day In The Life. Kerrie and I are going to share the post so you'll get to see a day in the life x 2! Kerrie was up first and her post is here.  Hope you enjoy a little snap shot into our lives.

Week 1 Lets Talk Blog Challenge; Day In The Life of Aishling.

At the beginning of my day I woke up and the first thing I saw was the tulips I bought in Lidl and the beautiful day outside!

After that I get dressed and had my breakfast. Just some cereal which I forgot to take a photo of! A comic I had ordered arrived in the post so I took a photo of that along with some jewelery that I was putting away and taking the tags off. I got both the necklace and bracelet for half price in Tescos the other day.

 Thor: God of Thunder, Elephant Necklace & Turquoise bracelet (modeled by my boyfriend Steve) both from Tescos :)

I unfortunately forgot to take any photos of my lunch but after we brought our dog Merle for a walk along the canal! It was a beautiful day and I got lovely photos!

All the photos were taken with my iPhone and edited in the VSCOcam app which is one of my favourites! I especially love the last photo because it looks like an old photo from the 60s or 70s. 

After we came back from the canal I had a nice bath using Lush's Golden Egg. It's so glittery and smells amazing! I will have a review of it up very soon!

I forgot to take any photos of my dinner, I'm not great at photographing food ha! I was more concentrated on eating it than photographing it! I then went on the internet for awhile and later watched a few episodes of Hannibal. Hannibal is fast becoming one of my favourite tv shows! Would highly recommend :) 

That's all from me. I enjoyed doing this post and think I will do some more in future. It is quite hard to do if you don't have much going on though! I hope this was interesting enough. I can't wait to see posts from everyone else on this! :)

Week 1 Lets Talk Blog Challenge; Day In The Life of Kerrie.

I started my day out in the usual way, got up and had breakfast! No photos of this excitement as it was only after that I decided today would be the day in the life!  I had a couple of major tasks for today, first was to get out and do some shopping.  It was a beautiful sunny day out

Above L-R my potatoes and onions are beginging to grow!  The birdies having a good feed, <3 my pansies.  Below; Some tulips grew at the entrance to our driveway!  I didn't plant them but thanks to who ever did they look lovely.

Above L-R- This day of super hot temperatures deserved to be recored for posterity - 18 degrees in the sun! A snap of our drive to the shops, you can see that the blackthorn is out in flower there are white bushes everwhere this time of year!
A cool car I saw in our local village, love that house too with all the folliage.

Next for a spot of browsing!  I really liked all these clothes in heatons, who doesn't want polka dot jeans and the colourful clothes are calling to me :)

Above - What I bought in tesco, as you can see bunny slippers and huge boxes of Cornflakes are essential items in our house :D

I also went to the bog!  This is the time of year to prepare for turf cutting so we had to deal with some that didn't quite make it the year before but can be bagged and moved out of the way now.  Also I got to sit on the tractor :D  It was really lovely and sunny there, I quite like the bog, if only I didn't have to do any work!

I completely forgot to take a photo of my dinner, despite having the camera ready beside me!  Later that night we watched the first 4 episodes of Breaking Bad, and oh my that is an awesome show! Then it was to bed, hope you liked this and I'll leave you with a short video :)
