    Back to school 2021! Kids were up one hour early a Back to school 2021! Kids were up one hour early and lunch boxes were declared the best ever! We’ve set the bar way too high on the first day back 😂 Tradition in our house is to ask the kids what they want to do when they start adulting and we love hearing their answers. As Amelia (my baby!) is going into 6th class - her last in primary school - I made a collage of her first days for the past 8 years. So cute! I hope all the kids going back this week settle in well. The house is going to be so quiet without them, right? #backtoschool #nowandthen #familylife
    When the blackberries and apples appear in our bac When the blackberries and apples appear in our back garden, I know it’s time to say hello to autumn. It looks like a bumper crop of apples this year too! Its so satisfying to see the trees we planted, flourish. And honestly, the Apple and Almond tart tasted that little bit sweeter too, knowing it was baked with our homegrown fruit. All compliments to my fab flaky pastry have to go to @jus_rol though 😜 Next up Apple and Blackberry crumble 💕 #autumn #appletart
    I’ve spent the day looking at photos of my six p I’ve spent the day looking at photos of my six plus years on Midday and Elaine show. 💕 So many gorgeous memories of laughter and shenanigans as we tried to solve the problems of the world under the expert guidance of @elainecrowleytv! Set and hairstyle changes galore, plus friendships that I’ll always treasure. Here’s my first and last day on Midday/Elaine Show, plus some of my favourite memories in between… I’ll miss Team @elainevmtv so much and wish everyone so much love and luck for the future. Thanks for letting me be part of your very cool gang Elaine 💕

    Have you ever noticed that certain dates are signi Have you ever noticed that certain dates are significant for many different reasons? Nine years ago today, my self published debut #BeyondGracesRainbow went to the top of the eBook charts and I nearly lost my mind with excitement! Did you know that I made the cover on my iPad, truly, I hadn’t a clue what I was doing! But somehow I went on to sign a contract with Harper Collins @onemorechapterhc. And Beyond Graces Rainbow has had many makeovers since then - by coincidence it was on this day eight years ago that they revealed their cover for Graces story. Since then, it has had several new covers, the most recent of which was revealed earlier this month! (My favourite of them all) Like it was yesterday I can remember sitting at home with Rog and my two babies in 2012, incredulous that something I’d written had gone to number one. I could never have imagined all the adventures my books would lead me to. The best job EVER! Oh and today, I emerged from my writing cave and handed in edits to my tenth novel due to be published in 2022. Another win for August 16! 💕 #curlupwithcarmel #carmelharrington #books

    Happy International Friendship Day! One of the th Happy International Friendship Day! One of the themes in The Moon Over Kilmore Quay is friendship. I've borrowed words from Bea O'Connor to share today, which felt apt, somehow. Writing Bea's friendship with Katrina and Stephanie was a lot of fun. As was Lucy, Maeve and Michelle's friendship too. And emotional, more than once! If you've read, you'll know the moments I'm talking about. A special thank you to all the magicians in my life. I know how lucky I am to have you.

    Sharing a gorgeous post from @tealeavesandreads - Sharing a gorgeous post from @tealeavesandreads - who have signed copies of #MoonOverKilmoreQuay and have just reviewed this book💕 Posted @withregram • @tealeavesandreads Well, we were well and truly influenced by so many of our customers when we purchased The Moon Over Kilmore Quay by @happymrsh for our book boxes. Carmel is such a lovely supportive Author and even provided us with signed book-plates to pop inside... and only now has Mrs Tea Leaves and Reads finished it! Thoughts... Immigration is at the heart of the story – whether that’s exploring the emotions behind the often hard but sometimes easy decision to move, or whether it’s that early morning phone-call from thousands of miles away with bad news… distance is conveyed in this book and the emotions attached are raw. Warning – you will be powerfully & emotionally charged by this book. You won’t want to put it down and you’ll also need to dive straight into a good Psychological Thriller once you’ve finished just for a change of pace – before curling up with another of Carmel’s books which we definitely plan to do...

    The Raven, Curracloe for an evening dip. Glorious. The Raven, Curracloe for an evening dip. Glorious. The water - warm and tranquil. Well, maybe not tranquil when the kids climbed on top of me, mid swim 😂 But it was the perfect reward for a full day editing next years book. Takes effort to stay focused when the sun shines, doesn’t it? And, wonderfully, I found out that #moonoverkilmorequay has remained in the Irish Top Ten for another week - thats EIGHT weeks! To everyone who bought a copy, wishing you happy reading in the sunshine 💕 #wexford #curracloe #irishbestseller #bookstagram #carmelharrington
    We’re back from our first roadtrip holiday in ou We’re back from our first roadtrip holiday in our new (to us) Motorhome, Dolly! The best fun ever, we all loved it. We stayed in campsites in Wicklow, Donegal and Sligo, and while the weather wasn’t great, it didn’t matter. It was so relaxing, reading, playing board games, eating too much and getting great use out of our portable badminton kit, with George Bailey as our ball dog! Most of our trip we stayed in a campsite overlooking Ballymastocker Bay in Donegal, and it’s one of the most stunning beaches I’ve ever been to, photos can’t do it justice. If you get a chance to visit there, you really should. And the sunsets were incredible too. I’ll stick some more pics on stories. Oh and the icing on the cake on our return home, wasn’t just the cracking weather we have now, (scorching down Wexico Way) but also finding out that I’ve remained in the Irish Times Bestsellers Top Ten chart for the seventh week! Thankyou kind readers who have bought a copy of #moonoverkilmorequay! Back to work on Monday, but until then, a little more reading and relaxing in the sunshine 💕 #motorhomelife #carmelharrington #campinglife
    Raining cats and dogs all day here! Jackets had to Raining cats and dogs all day here! Jackets had to be pulled out of the cupboards when we went for our walks. But doesn’t George Bailey look cute though? 🥰 The rain can’t stop me smiling today, because I’ve found out that The Moon Over Kilmore Quay has remained in the Irish Bestsellers charts for its sixth week! Number Six this week 💕 so all of the sixes! That’s a record for me and I couldn’t be more chuffed. When you write a book and send it out into the world, all you can do is hope it finds its way into readers laps. And that doesn’t always happen (looking at you, pearshaped 2020!) Enough said about that! Thankyou to every single one of you who has bought a copy of #moonoverkilmorequay and shared the book love with friends. You’ve all helped keep me in the charts and I appreciate it so much. And thankyou to my publisher @harpercollinsire @harperfiction too, for all the support and general cheerleading. Right, the rain has stopped so GB and I are off for another walk in another game of dodge the shower 😂💕 #carmelharrington #curlupwithcarmel #irishbestseller #bookstagram #bookclub #irishdiaspora

    A lovely family day celebrating Mr H! Watching how A lovely family day celebrating Mr H! Watching how much my kids love their dad, is a privilege. And in today’s The Sunday Times, in an interview with @eithneshortall about our home in Wexford, he gets the odd mention too. 💕 We had a gorgeous meal at @riverbankhousehotel too. So good to be back to one of our family favourites! Happy Fathers Day to all the dads, especially my own daddy and Rog. Two good men. I know today can be tough for many. If it is for you, I’m sending love your way. #moonoverkilmorequay #carmelharrington #sundaytimes #happyfathersday
