I tried - and made a boo boo - to send out an email to you wonderful people who subscribe to my website, follow me on social media and visit me at events BUT for some, strange reason, known only to the t'internet, it only went and vanished! So, please can you accept this as a heart-felt thank you for all of your support.

Do come and join us - we'll be open from Saturday 19th October 11 - 5pm and Sunday 19th from 11.30 - 5.30pm. I am convinced that the sun will be shining when you head over to se

Artspace Lifespace pulled out all of the stops to hold a successful celebration at the mansion on 28th September. We were graced with the Smyth family - back from the dead, no less = to help the public tour their ancestral home and bring its history to life. (My children spent a happy hour knowingly looking for Dame Esme Smyth's dead dogs...).
