Grannies who like to eat out!

 You'll discover over the coming weeks and months that the Two Grannies do indeed like their food, and they enjoy nothing more than eating out! And part of the reason we two enjoy eating out is because years ago we were unable to afford to eat out. So now we take every advantage and roam the pubs, restaurants, coffee shops and we eat. And we eat. And we eat some more. 

We will tell you as we go along about some of the places we both visit. Granny McC (that's me) has been very slow getting off the ground with her dining this new year, but that's all about to change. She had a wee hiccup but she'll be back out there dining very very soon. 

I did manage a few (a few too many) visits to one of my favourite haunts this past week and indeed just yesterday. That of course being 'Tank & Skinny's Muff'. It's the perfect place to breakfast, brunch, lunch or just coffee with friends or with a good book. I've done it all and can't recommend enough. Granny Annie often accompanies me there, and in her own time too. We both do rather like it.

But this weekend also saw Granny Annie visit somewhere for the first time, Farren's Bar in Malin Head.  I've been there as I know two little ones who reside there and am very fond of them both (that would be Séan and Cara). But Granny Annie had lunch there just yesterday and texted me to say I must go try.  Her words were, 'It's very nice and very affordable'. If Granny Annie says it's nice, then it is nice. She being a mighty fine cook herself, so when she recommends food, you know it's good. 

Going back to Tank & Skinny's again, the Two Grannies are very sad to hear that Claire G is leaving. Claire G has been there since day one and we were all very fond of her. However, we Two Grannies are very inspired by Claire's reason for leaving - she's off to devote her time to being a full-time Mammy to her three lovely boys. These grannies think that is the nicest thing she could do. I, Granny McC was also a full-time Mammy to my three boys for many years and I know the sacrifices you make in making this choice. So we grannies want to wish Claire every happiness in her time with the boys - it flies by: we know that for sure.

So, as 2024 goes by, the grannies here will let you know of fine dining places we recommend you visit. 

Enjoy your food folks, life's too short to say 'no'.

Introducing The Two Grannies

 It's time to put ourselves out there and let you know just who these 'Two Grannies' are. First up, it's myself Gráinne. Most know me as the face behind The WRITE STUFF Kids Club and The WRITE STUFF: Creative Writing facilitator, freelance writer, tutor and the gal who loves all things books and Shakespeare. But this is a whole other side that I now hope to explore. The side that feels it has acquired wisdom and life learning. The side that is fueled by friendship and life lessons. And all of that supported by the friend of 40+ years, Granny Annie.  I'm wife to one, mother to three, and granny to one. This is not about the role of being a granny, but more about the stage in life this brings me to. A stage where I'm content within myself, find it easier to say 'no', and know the importance of taking time for 'me'. I've reached this stage with a great family and a super circle of friends around me. And it's the friendship element that is go...

Old Grannies not!

 Grannies are often perceived as being frail old ladies. These Two Grannies are everything but. Give them a dancefloor, a walkway, a bottle of wine (or 3), and they'll show how non-frail and youthful they really are. These Two Grannies believe in living life to the max. Enjoying every minute and living each day as their last. Getting to the Granny stage in life allows time to reflect and realise just how important living really is.  From painting slate gifts (that's Granny Annie) to jeweled frames (that's Granny Annie too), to interviewing musicians all over the world (that's Granny McCool) and running around the country promoting poetry and literature to schools everywhere (that's Granny McCool too), these Granny's show just how much living and enjoyment Grannies really do have. The Two Grannies will tell you all about their coat and shoe/boot addictions, they'll tell you about how they have experienced anxiety in the most unexpected ways; how they've...
