Most Read Post of 2021 was Transient Global Amnesia

Happy New Year.

I have been so lacking in energy, mojo, initiative (call it what you like..) to actually get up off my butt and write a post. Well, I suppose I would have to sit down to write it. But you know what I mean.

Anyway, I think I have got my act together. So Happy New Year to one and all.

I am feeling more positive that we might be finally seeing an end to this PANDEMIC. What do you think? No matter what happens, we have to get on with living our lives.

Regular readers will know that I have had an upper respiratory infection since mid-November and I feel it is finally nearly gone. I am back walking again and have my energy back. Below, you can see that we have had some gorgeous weather recently.

So to kick off the New Year I am going to share my most popular posts of last year…2021

We had just welcomed our most recent grandson Zen in December 2020 and had spent Christmas Day with our family. Then, of course, we went into another lockdown. But Graham and I coped well enough; it was vert much a case of wait and see what happens as we went from one lockdown to another. We were very reluctant to make any plans until we got our vaccinations. The summer was ok and we socialised outside a lot. Golf took a back seat as my back was acting up. Eventually I got treatment and was so pleased to be able to walk pain-free again.

HEALTH POSTS

My posts on health are amongst those which engage the biggest audience. I suppose you don’t reach your 60s without some issues.

Then in February I had a Transient Global Amnesia EPISODE. I do not remember it but it was very frightening for my family. However, it was my most popular post last year  and I was amazed by the response.

I also did a follow-up post which also reached a wide audience.

My reluctance to take statins and my high cholesterol brought a varied response. I will be doing a follow-up later this year.

Finally, my involvement in World Osteoporosis Day was very important to me as my Mum has osteoporosis and I was diagnosed with osteopenia in 2016.

I have ongoing problems with my back, which really gave me problems this year. I played very little golf. In fact, I think each hole probably cost me €100.

RECOMMENDED BOOKS

Reading is such a pleasure and a way to wind down and to escape into other worlds.

Songbirds

You can read some of my favourites HERE

BEAUTY POSTS

I actually did a review of my favourite products at the end of last month.

Skinician Retinol

And I have lots of new products to try as well. But you know how slow I am at this. I like to take my time and if I like a product, I use it until it is finished.

BREAKS AWAY

We stayed in The Merrion Hotel Dublin for a night last June.

and we were lucky enough to get to spend some time in Spain in September and in Portugal in November.

FASHION POSTS

I really enjoy my collaboration with my ‘Style Not Age’ gang. My favourite two posts last year featured in  March and May.

So goodbye to 2021 and hello 2022.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for the support. Happy New Year to you all.

Love Hilda x

    Hello Hilda! Happy New Year to you as well. I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better. More people were diagnosed, today, in the US than since Covid started. Unless the medical community comes up with something to nip this in the bud, you’re right about needing to find a way to live with it. So far, except for walking Annie, I’m a hermit. xoxox, Brenda

      Yes to yoga and relaly recommend YOGA WITH KASSANDRA ON YOUTUBE. The best I have found and she has specific classes for beginners. She explains everything really well. She does 30 minute classes for beginners that I love but also 10 minutes easy stretches. I love her yin yoga ones too. Watch them first and decide which you like.So type in Yoga with Kassandra for beginners and click……

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!

Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Orange you glad the sun is back at last! Love the Orange you glad the sun is back at last! 
Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.
