The Last Day

Posted on by Clare Clevett

There is a saying here in Ireland ‘the last day’, it kind of means sometime in the past I think.

like this….”oh we had a gas with mam when she came over on the last day”. Meaning, we had a laugh with mum when she came over last week/the other day/a month ago.

Well for us Saturday was the last day. In both the Irish sense, and that it was the last day of our summer holidays and last of our summer visits.

We headed off into Dublin to meet Nanny Barry (my mum) and Nanny Cats (Mr Clev’s mum) at the airport for a one day visit.

The above photo is a grey seal spotted in Skerries Harbour. So exciting and there was a lot of screaming, and a lot of pointing from the mini Clevs. Skerries is a lovely little seaside town north of Dublin about 20 minutes if that from the airport. We had a delicious lunch there and caught up on all the news and gossip from the Clev Side (Mr Clev is the baby of 6 (4 brothers, 1 sister) so there is always a lot of news and gossip)

After we had refueled we went for a walk around the town and onto the beach. When we lived in England we used to take Nanny Cats to the beach every single summer without fail, sadly she has not been able to go since we left so she was thrilled to visit us AND the beach on the same day!!! Oh and yes – this is Nanny Barry playing a bit of Red Poison on the beach with the kiddos.

 Wahey!! group photo!! It was crazy windy but a really beautiful sunny day. We had been so worried about the weather so it was great to have a lovely sunny day!

After our lunch and explore around skerries town we went to Skerries flour mill. Again this place was on Supervalu days out and we all got in for about 10 Euro. It was a nice break in the day and nice to spend some time inside actually. We had a nice cup of tea and some cake in the cafe which again was much needed after our seaside stroll.

My sister is coeliac so this is a photo of me being horrified by all the gluten in the mill!!! Attack of the Gluten!!!
 

Outside they had a play area, and of course the windmills. 

Nanny Barry, mr Clev and the kiddos made it all the way up to the top of one of the windmills (and if reports are correct, they rolled all the way down the hill)

Family Photo time!! although poor baby Vivi is nearly completely eclipsed by my mammoth belly. Pretty convinced Im going to give birth to a baby elephant as my bump is huge!!! I still cant believe that soon our photos will have 5 mini Clev’s in them!!!

Photo with Nanny Cats. Mr Clev’s Dad sadly passed away about 2 years ago. Since then my mother in law has done lots of things independently, which (i hope she wont mind me saying!) she didnt do before, as her and Mr Clev’s Dad were inseparable. When we moved here we (mr Clev and I) were almost 100% convinced that she would never in a million years get on a plane to come and see us.

When my mum (Nanny Barry) organised this trip and proposed it to Nanny Cats, not only was she really up for it but she was so excited. We actually skyped the night before they arrived and laughed that she was like a child waiting for Christmas, you could see how excited she was! We are eternally grateful to both my mum for arranging this day, and to Mr Clevs mum for actually getting on the plane and coming!! Its a big effort on all parts but so so worth it πŸ™‚ 

Beautiful flowers outside the mill. The children loved seeing both of their nannies together, and we joked that they need ‘Nans on Tour’ t shirts for the next time they come over!

All in all, our last day of summer was a great one! we spent the Sunday getting everyone ready for back to school but that’s another post in itself!

    Thank you for some other informative blog. Where else may I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect method?
    I have a venture that I’m simply now operating on,
    and I’ve been on the look out for such information.

    1 narrative not portrayed in residential real
    estate marketplace reports are the growing ranks of home buyers
    who can’t afford to purchase a home, even if they desired
    to. I predicted in mid-2004 that these imperceptible first-time buyers, whose presence isn’t reported in housing statistics might have a slowing effect on prospective dwelling sales,
    at all levels.The imperceptible buyer while from sight, shouldn’t be out of
    mind. These off-the-radar housing consumers pose large implications for all in the home market.
    Without first-time buyers, those that are looking to market to move-up or move-on, can’t.
    According to a March 2007 nationwide survey
    conducted by Bankrate.com, affordability is the number one motive that is restraining renters
    from purchasing a home.With home admiration far out
    pacing expansion of personal incomes, Nearly forty-percent of first-time home buyers
    in the Bankrate.com poll said that they simply can not afford today’s home prices.
    Now, faced with higher prices, they feel that owning the American dream is out of reach.
    Real estate is a food chain, choose 1 component
    out and it ripples throughout the marketplace. Even upper-bracket home sellers aren’t immune from the fundamental first-time, entry level home buyer.

    In case the first-timer can not enter the marketplace
    to buy, then the move-up buyers who want to market and buy a more desired home can’t.
    Eventually with the move-up’s stalled in neutral, actually people needing to create the final move-up
    to the upper bracket home of their dreams have a holding pattern because well.What’s are the result of this affordability gap?
    I also see first-time house buyers moving to markets where housing is cheaper at entry levels.As the Uk
    property market goes through its own change towards becoming a balanced marketplace, Sellers will
    discover more competition from other similar properties seeking to have the attention of their perspective buyers.Now more than ever
    is the requirement to distinguish the property, and examine the advantages
    of staging when the time arrives to sell.Being a real
    estate Seller, you have to first distinguish your emotional attachment to your home
    and examine it as a commodity to market. This allows you to evaluate what
    must be fixed, cleaned out and altered to prepare it for the
    marketplace and buyers. You’ll want to pack your
    home or condominium so it’s appealing to the
    buyers and that they’re choosing your property within the competition.As real estate markets are forever changing, so are advertising strategies as they are targeted to gain the attention of the public that are thinking
    about making a purchase either today or in the near future.
    To gain an edge when your property is prepared to market involves lots of
    factors starting at being priced right and presenting itself better than the
    competition. The best and proven method of packaging your property and gaining that competitive advantage would be to Stage your property to sell!A
    large variety of recently built condos and lofts in Uk are enticing buyers with seductive design suites developed to underline the floor programs and exceptional
    attributes using colour, furniture, art and lighting fixtures.
    The buyers instantly can relate to the mood of the suite and begin to envision themselves relaxing about that
    sofa and meal preparation in the kitchen using the newest appliances.
    These showrooms together with recent tv programs have shifted
    how buyers today consider buying properties.
    Staging professionals can quickly assess which portions can be inserted to
    complete a room. If leasing furniture and artwork isn’t right for you, there
    are still a range of easy staging ideas in preparing your house that will make a huge impact and
    help maximize the results of your sale.You’re about to set
    the stage for a perfect production which comprises the Realtors coming with their buyers to get a
    showing.Remember, your house is not available, but your
    home or condo is! You’ve already begun to separate yourself from the
    strings that float around the personal components of your space and have begun to choose which regions need to be touched up before the first buyer walks through your door.If you’re living in a home, you may look
    at it from throughout the street and ask yourself if it justifies the cost that you’re inquiring or should you make a few changes?
    If you were a buyer, would you get enthusiastic about taking a look at your location? Many Realtors have had to cancel
    appointments since after their buyers watched the exterior they didn’t wish to
    go further in viewing it. Being well-groomed and lovely is a given, but you can proceed further
    with some small details and added touches that are certainly worth the effort and expense.Starting at front door,
    a brand new door mat, blossom or seasonal plants in pots, sparkling
    hardware, fresh mailboxkeys turning readily, doorbell working are simply some of the
    things to keep in mind. Drapes and blinds should be kept open so that in addition to letting natural light indoors, the exterior will also have a welcoming feel.When buyers first enter
    your entrance door, what is the very first thing
    they’ll see or smell? Subliminally they will have already started to make a determination at this point
    as to whether your property is in their short list or away from it.Nothing
    smells better than wash! Fresh flowers that are not too strong can be fragrant and beautiful accenting specific rooms
    and adding colour. Reed diffusers in acrylic
    with a soft and light aroma can help the property smell wonderful and fresh as you don’t need
    anything too strong or over-powering. Your pets shouldn’t be on the house during
    showings, since some individuals are uncomfortable and you’ll want the buyers equally
    relaxed and concentrated when starting to envision themselves maybe living there.Another important reminder will be to eliminate your personal and family photographs.
    Buyers can’t move into your space emotionally if they are staring at your wedding and child’s
    pictures. Organize children’s bedrooms, eliminating posters, iridescent stars around
    the ceilings and overflowing shelves of stuffed toys and animals.
    These rooms can become more neutral so that buyers
    with no children can still envision the space as theirs.
    Your beds must possess at least two to three cushions per head with big and fluffed-up comforters and bed skirts.

    You’ll be amazed at what a difference that this
    effort makes and these are things you can use on your
    next home.Another approach to immediately add some punch
    from your living room is adding some new and exciting pillows.
    Be a bit more adventuresome when choosing some elegant compliments to your furniture.Regardless of
    this time of year, you’re likely to want to make sure your windows are clean and run.
    It has a massive impact of letting natural lighting in and showcasing your neighbourhood views.If you’ve deferred any
    upkeep on your property, this is the time to fix it prior to selling.
    Often they will assume proof of necessary repairs suggest your property
    hasn’t been well-maintained and also there might be unseen problems lurking.

    Video sharing is without doubt one of the handiest methods
    to direct visitors to your website and entice the potential consumers’ attention to your products and
    services. And among video sharing sites, YouTube is undoubtedly one of the best and
    probably the most comprehensive. For those who personal a business, you can add movies displaying your merchandise and their working, or highlighting your services.

    You can clarify why your services are higher
    than those of others, and why the consumers should go for them as
    a substitute of choosing others. Why, even if you’re simply an newbie, an artist for instance, you can popularize
    your artwork works by sharing their videos over the YouTube.
    Being the highest watched video sharing website
    on the earth, YouTube offers you a reach no different web
    site can match. Will we still have to stress the importance of YouTube
    videos in your web advertising technique?Nevertheless, most of the web entrepreneurs and amateurs don’t know how you can improve
    YouTube views of their videos. They only upload their videos and watch for the viewers to come back
    and watch them. Little question most such movies fail
    to give the desired results. Here are a couple of suggestions
    that can provide help to enhance YouTube
    views of your videos.Over the years, coaching videos or
    video tutorials have been the most well-liked amongst movies uploaded on YouTube.
    Videos giving audio video lessons on any aspect of the products or services you market, are
    sure to attract viewers to them. The attraction will enhance manifold if these classes are given by some famous personality.
    So, put together some such movies about your services
    and products and add them.Continued presence is the essence of the success of web advertising over
    the long term. However, this will not occur in the event you do not revise your
    uploaded videos. Discover increasingly more elements of
    your business through which coaching classes could be offered, put together movies on them and continue
    importing them at fixed intervals over a long interval of time.The significance of
    search phrases in internet advertising can’t be emphasised enough.
    Find all related search phrases related to your services and products and use them in your movies to increase YouTube views.
    Arouse the viewers’ curiosity with intriguing yet easy titles.
    Tag words are additionally very important and can help viewers bypass countless different related movies vying for his or her
    attention.Favourable critiques play a very important function in getting the viewers to observe your videos.
    Attempt to get as many favourable opinions of your movies as possible.
    There are many ways of getting favourable reviews, together
    with paying writers to put in writing reviews.Nevertheless, if you can’t
    make investments so much effort and time in doing all this, the best method for you can be to purchase a video SEO skilled service or rent
    knowledgeable YouTube video advertising company.
