Comments on: Resomalutions 2008 http://englishmum.com/2008/01/01/resomalutions-2008/ Living in Ireland, shopping, kids, greyhounds, cooking, more shopping and a load of rubbish about, well, nothing really Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:36:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: ENGLISH MUM: never knowingly undercatered » For C: a friend remembered http://englishmum.com/2008/01/01/resomalutions-2008/#comment-3779 ENGLISH MUM: never knowingly undercatered » For C: a friend remembered Sat, 03 May 2008 13:20:20 +0000 http://englishmum.com/2008/01/01/resomalutions-2008/#comment-3779 [...] When we moved here last summer, we were elated to find another family in the only other house around.  The two houses were built at the same time and stand, identical, like twins sunning themselves on our little patch of green.  We got on instantly, although sharing a major crisis helps.  The kids are similar ages and have become firm friends, flitting in and out of each others’ houses so much, I’m never sure how many I’m feeding at tea time.  D and Hubby quickly became no strangers to the pub and I took to C instantly.  She was already ill, but brushed it aside as an inconvenience.  She loved Bertie to bits (always a direct route to my affections).  He escaped once and was found expectantly waiting by C’s back door (he could probably smell baking).  We discovered a shared love of cooking (C made the best Bailey’s Cheesecake I’ve ever tasted) and swapped recipes and steaming plates of just-baked cakes, cookies and goodness knows what, which were ferried between houses for testing.  They have introduced us to loads of people, helped us settle in and we’ve shared all sorts of mad adventures including the Pumpkin Festival and a very inebriated New Year’s Eve.
