This season of The Traitors UK was my favourite so far. Stephen was a legend. He could have taken all the money for himself, but he kept his word.

Timoleague Friary • West Cork The origins of the Franciscan friary at Timoleague are somewhat uncertain, but it is traditionally believed to have been founded as early as 1240 by Donal Glas McCarthy, though it may have been established on an earlier foundation. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #WestCork

16 years today.

The lane this morning. It's iced on top of that now

Another painting of my great grandmother Bideach McDonagh, painted by Charles Lamb. Bideach was from Carraroe in County Galway, and I'm really enjoying researching her history. She had between 16-18 children

well here she is! my very first solo game and all about Ireland's best deli choice: the Chicken Fillet Roll. free to play in browser. LMK what roll you decide to make & if you get the feels or a laugh, even better. this is a roll-driven game. made lovingly in Twine unaminh.itch.io/chicken-fill...

If you haven't read today's blog post, you'll have missed the bit about my great grandmother featuring in some paintings by Charles Lamb. Including this one. Read more on the blog magnumlady.com/2025/12/28/s...

Christmas sandwiches in Sligo magnumlady.com/2025/12/16/f...

😂 From the Carmelite church in Kildare, Ireland. (Apologies, I have no video credit, as it was a WhatsApp forward). #SpeirGorm

Gleninagh Castle • The Burren • County Clare This towerhouse was built by the O’Loughlins who called themselves the ‘Princes of the Burren’. When it was originally rendered and whitewashed, it would have made a distinctive landmark on the grey rocky shore of the Burren. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

We don't have a cat....

The internet is something sometimes: my mother took this picture in 1988 and Instagram has just dropped it into my life again. The milkman's name was Eamonn and he was lovely. He picked up the extra bottles when she asked him to pose.

It's that bloody time of year again. Let me just say this once, there is no CHEESE included with the cheeseboard. Strange how they don't expect a cup of coffee. Thank you. #SLATED #speirgorm #cheese #coffee #IrishDesign

In case anyone from Sligo is here, I have a blog post of Christmas events in Sligo, that might be of interest magnumlady.com/2025/11/26/c...

Hello deer! #SundayMorning #wildlife

Beautiful stained glass panel in St Enda’s, An Spidéal

The amount of otherwise decent people on here who are supporting Catherine Connolly, while pretending the entire incident with the penguin in Busáras didn’t happen. #SmearTheBejaysus

Catherine Connolly breeds seagulls and trains them how to rob sandwiches and chips, then releases them into Stephens Green #smearTheBejaysus #speirgorm

As usual it takes the Irish to really bring a platform like this to life! 🤣 #SpeirGorm

Catherine Connolly put a single US cent in her Trócaire box this year. #SmeartheBejasus #SpeirGorm

I haven't been on here properly in months. It looks like #smearthebejaysus has livened things up

Catherine Connolly only says "bye" once at the end of a phonecall. #smearthebejaysis

Catherine Connolly laughed so hard at an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys that she had to rewind it a few minutes "because she missed the next few jokes from laughing so hard". AND it was one of the later episodes. #smearthebejaysis

And she leaves 5-minute long voicemails in group chats in response to yes/no questions. #SmearTheBejaysis

Someone told me Catherine Connolly replies to long text messages with a '👍' #SmearTheBejaysis

Expectations Vs reality
