Mother's Day 3rd of April

Don't forget Mother's Day on the 3rd of April

Father's Day is different- that last minute pair of socks are always appreciated but Mother's Day is something different. Forgetting about it would be disaster.

Smoking on Planes- would you believe it?

I have just read an article on how the US have banned E Cigarettes..

Apparently these are smokeless cigarettes which people had been able to smoke on planes. Some kind of metal device which contains liquid nicotine solution which when heated creates vapour which may be inhaled.

Ha- it seems there is a way around everything these days. Hopefully this E Cigarette will catch on and it'll save everyone going outside in the cold to smoke during parties or on a night out. We're alright thankfully- at the hotel there is an outside patio area which isn't just a pleasant place to sit on a sunny day but also has a heated area for those that get the craving.

St Patrick's Day

I really cant believe that it is the beginning of March tomorrow and I am already being asked to book people in for for St Patrick's Day.

Of course we are going to have the usual Traditional Irish Music in Premier Bar in the Afternoon with Gale Force which is always a hit.

On top of that this year our Bar Staff have come up with a hooray of cocktails to suit the occasion.

For the smaller supporters of our patron saint there is face painting and colouring.

But if you do have suggestions be sure to let us know...

A Happy Valentine's Day indeed

Whilst the rest of us were thanking our lucky stars for all the cards, chocolates and flowers a certain couple were thankful to be alive. Their car was hit by a train yesterday afternoon after a previous driver left the level crossing gate open. Quick thinking saved the day and the couples car was hit at the front only with both of them and the 170 passengers walking away without a scratch.
Now thats a story to tell the grandkids...

The World's first Interactive Cemetery Museum

At the Marketing Agency at the 2011 Satellite Broadband Ireland Digital Media Awards, which were presented at a ceremony in the Convention Centre on Friday evening Martello Media won the Best Digital Design for a project with the Glasnevin Museum.

Martello implemented the world's first interactive cemetery museum, showing the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the seven generations of people buried there. The company took the overall prize as it received most marks from each of the 20 judges.

The Museum- a stone's throw from the Ardmore Hotel is well worth a visit.
