Late last night I dropped my purse on Lansdowne Rd + didn't notice until I got off the DART in Clontarf. It had all my cards + €100 in it. A kind lady found it, found me via social media + met my son today to return it. I'm so grateful + hope karma repays her goodness tenfold!

Last night someone saved my friend's daughter's life. As I type, her 23-yr-old is undergoing a heart transplant, received from an incredible donor. Yesterday a family lost their loved one and yet, amidst their grief, have given the gift of life to a stranger 1/2

We don't have too many Michelin-starred kitchens in Ireland where a woman is head chef. So let's all raise a glass to @RoisinOConnor9 who's just been promoted from sous to head chef at the 1 Michelin star House restaurant at Waterford's @cliffhousehotel . A good news story.

Today my youngest sent a Custard Cream in the post. A single one. It was a last minute addition to her penfriend's Easter card, fitting snugly in a painted match box. I love the sheer innocence and madness of this act. I mean, who wouldn't love a random biscuit in the post?

@LeslieAnnHorgan I run but swerve on the road to make others feel safe. But I'm astonished on walks how many walkers happily watch me move my 3 kids on to the road in single file while they stroll mid-path without flinching. Happens daily. Pals with a 2m gap between them + couples are the worst.

Dublin, March 2nd 2018, I took this photo of St Stephen's Green from my room in @theshelbourne . Had never seen my hometown looking so tranquil. Walked home in my hiking boots after checking out. Doesn't Dublin look beautiful!

Who else is delivering high-end baking, patisserie, gateaux and tarts around Ireland? Not novelty cakes, but serious desserts like @LePatissier1 and @AoifeNoonan_ . Thank you. #journorequest

What a feast to kick-start Christmas! Felt so lucky to squeeze in our sensational @ChapterOneByMV Christmas celebration last night, just before today's curfew. Thanks to @ViljanenMickael , @DannyDesmond6 , Juba, @OJamesob1988 and all the wonderful team for another perfect evening.

Seeing as we can't travel or eat out right now, I'm happy to admire beautiful restaurant design from afar. How about 50% Cloud, a new restaurant in China by CCD Architects, built within a mega art installation by Luo Xu, a local Yunnan Province artist. Isn't it breathtaking?

For someone who makes such a Trojan contribution to Ireland's food scene it's fitting that the inimitable Georgina Campbell of @IrelandGuide has been recognised by Ireland's best chefs + @EurotoquesIrl . Congratulations on your award, @GCsIreland !

On December 8 2004, a split second changed Graham's life forever: 15 years ago today. Every day we count our blessings he's still here. His courage and tenacity have made him an exceptional human being. Forever my kid brother, my phoenix, my superhero.
