We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by TM Regular readers may remember that this time last year CM popped on her clogs (why is it that rural dwelling mice always seem to favour clogs? ) and joined Mary, our step-mama, and me in the Fire Restaurant, Dublin for the fifth annual Mothers and Daughters’ Lunch hosted by the Immigrant Council of […]
MorePost by CM You know, it’s been 10 years since the time and reason-bending conundrum that was Lost got all up on our grill, and I would think that by now we all know it’s been 20 long years since the Friends bagsied their favourite orange couch in Central Perk. It must be added then that 2014 heralded the 30th birthday […]
