Welcome to May’s Ultimate Coffee Date! I’m still in Ireland right now + on the tail end of my trip…and I don’t wanna leave yet! It’s so pretty here and I feel like there’s still so much more to explore. :( Apologies though if the spacing/photos are wayyy off though; the app doesn’t seem to wanna work smoothly..
Ultimate Coffee Date: May 2025
One of my favorite moments on one of our hikes! The deer was trying to get me to feed it and I was telling it that (a) I can’t feed it and (b) I really didn’t have any food. 
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I keep saying I’m going to start up Travel Tuesday again, maybe this year will be the year I actually go back to it (maybe even the cooking part too?! I can’t believe this used to mostly be a food blog 
)…
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I’ve had more fish n chips over the past 2 weeks than I usually have in an entire year (or 2 years?!). Granted, they’ve all been really tasty because they do it so well here, but I’m also looking forward to non-pub food soon too, hehe.
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…there was a super cool yarn store in Cork where I may or may not have gone to townnnn on. (Everything was so pretty! ) I guess I’m gonna be relearning how to knit + hopefully also finishing a crochet project at some point this year!
Look at their yarn wall!!!

Oh, this looks so beautiful! I can see why you don’t want to leave. You will have to come back and show us what you knit with that yard.
It’s gonna take me a while but if I’m successful, I’ll definitely be sharing! :D
Oh, all that yarn! Definitely a great reason to get back to knitting!
Change of subject, I actually had fish -n-chips last weekend on my trip (but I wasn’t in Ireland, LOL).
I’m excited! I’ve recruited my friend to so we can have knit/crochet days together! :)
Oh this does look so quaint and beautiful. So glad that you were able to take the time off to travel!
Thank you! It’s definitely been a very welcomed break!
Ireland – how fun! Enjoy every minute of your trip. And, you have to share what you decide to make with that yarn :)
Hopefully I’ll have relearned how to knit/crochet by the end of this year! (That’s my current hopefully-semi-realistic goal!? :D…)

Oooh have a great trip!! And lots of yarn – I don’t know how to knit or anything so I’m so curious what you make of it all!
I learned how to knit in 2012 but unfortunately forgot how, so this is motivation-to-self to relearn! :P

Oh, Ireland looks beautiful — as does that yarn! I can see why it was easy to go overboard.
LOL on the fish + chips. It does look good!
haha, it was hard to say no to for sure! :P
Oh how fun! I totally would have fed that cutie, even if I didn’t have any food!
Hope you’re having a great time!
hehe, thanks so much! It was hard to resist so probably a good thing that I really didn’t have any food!
Enjoy the rest of your trip! Ireland looks beautiful! Looking forward to seeing what you knit with your recent yarn purchase.
Thank you! Time to watch all the tutorials ever and re-teach myself everything! :P

Enjoy Ireland! I’ve been there a few times and it’s always so much fun. I remember going to town at a soap store in Cork. Haha! I spy the Cliffs of Moher!
That’s awesome that you’ve been there a few times! We thought 2 weeks would be enough but there was still so much more to see!

All the colours of yarn! So gorgeous.
And that deer shot is adorable. I’ve never been that close except at a zoo!
hehe, I was so surprised (but I felt like The Chosen One! hahah :P )!!

I hope you had a wonderful time in Ireland! Those are all beautiful colors. I can’t wait to see what you end up making with it.
I’m excited! :D Will def have to relearn how to do things on less high-quality yarn before I break these out, hehehe.
