I must have known last weekend that we would be housebound this week with the snow as I popped into Dunnes and Born in the Parkway shopping centre after our swimming lesson and found a few beauties for women and kids in both shops.

I have always loved looking back through old photo albums. Looking back on holidays from my early childhood days, days long forgotten yet I always smile as I look at not only my parents baby face but of mine too.
