I am back. Back blogging that is. I am also back from Kilkenny a lovely and vibrant inland city in the south-east of Ireland. And no, I was not sequestered in Kilkenny for the duration of my blogging break, just for a few days last weekend.
About
Heading towards my latter years minus high heels but in stylish ballet flats. Just Add Attitude is my take on: life, style, food, interiors and so much more.
If I could I would spend my life on a constant loop between my three favourite cities: Paris, London and my native Dublin. Funds don't permit such a version of perpetual motion, so I am content to visit Paris and London as often as I can.

- I often go to the lovely cafe at Airfield Estate for a coffee and to buy some of their delicious free range eggs. Airfield is a working farm in the Dublin suburb of Dundrum: going there often doesn't dim the wonder and the sense of the surreal I feel when I see farm animals in what's a busy built up area.Pretty containers of tulips on the terrace of Overends Kitchen - the cafe at Airfield urban farm.Hello Spring, where have you been ...Ballymaloe House, a name that's synonymous with good modern Irish food. I didn't stay or eat there but I did have a delicious light lunch in their small cafe in the Ballymaloe Shop.Thank you for your likes and comments in 2017. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2018. 🎉🥂🎈🌈🙋🏼A lovely coral coloured sky circa 4pm today. The shortest day is inching ever closer ...Gulp! Christmas is less that ten days away. Christmas decorations are such a matter of personal taste. Here's a Christmas vignette I really like (seen at Hatch Coffee). The distressed wall behind it is super gorgeous.This morning's sunrise 🌅Throw back Thursday to a few weeks ago when I was in Florence. This is the beautiful entryway to the Officina Profumo-Farmecutica Di Santa Maria Novella. Founded by the Dominican Friars in the early 1220’s, it’s one of the oldest pharmacies in the world. The pharmacy is no longer owned and run by the friars. It’s now a contemporary business - but many of the lines it sells are made using centuries-old recipes. The pharmacy is a ‘must-see’ in Florence - the building is super gorgeous and the smells are divine.Sometimes judging a restaurant by its pavement appeal is a good idea. Sometimes not. I was initially attracted to this trattoria by the outside furniture - made from wooden wine boxes. The interior didn't disappoint and yesterday's lunch was also pretty good.This evening's sunset over Florence's river Arno. I arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and today I walked for miles and miles. #good However I also ate my body weight in food. #notsogoodThere's lots to love about Hatch in Glasthule: excellent coffee, friendly service, and the gorgeous polished concrete floor.Dublin: as part of Culture Night 2017 the American author, Claire Messud, was interviewed at the dlr Lexicon. I took this picture on my way into the event. She was a captivating interviewee: funny, self deprecating, and charming.Shopping for flowers, earlier today, in Dublin's Fruit and Vegetable Market.Blue-skied Sunday. 🌞
