Ways To Make A Lot Of Money - Bill Cullen

Ways to make a lot of money are explaind in Bill Cullen's number one bestseller - 'It's A Long Way From Penny Apples'.

This is a really interesting read, telling the story of his childhood in Dublin. I'm only half way through it as I can only spent about thirty minutes a day reading but really look forward to reading the next stage of his story.

The book is also quite heart breaking in places, such as reading about the famine. How the Irish people were thrown out of their homes, left dying at the sides of the streets through starvation, whilst other healthy produce was shipped out of Ireland - to England!

This guy went from a poverty childhood to building a business worth over £250 million. He has been very generous with helping and supporting many because of this.

Highly recommend you read this book, as one minute you are reading a true life fiction story mingled with the history of Dublin, life in the 1950's onwards and the ways to make a lot of money even at that time.

I found it very strange, as he and I are only a few years apart, lived just within a few miles of each other, I even went to school in the heart of Dublin, yet our childhoods were miles apart in respect of the material advantages we lived with.

Handknitted Irish Aran Knitwear


Aran Handknitting
With this really cold weather now upon us, it's time to consider getting yourself a wonderful handknitted aran sweater. These aran sweaters are lovingly hand knitted by Irish ladies in their own homes.


Normally they take about six weeks to complete but today I've just had the good news that one of my customers will be getting theirs much earlier than expected.

They haven't selected the usual natural colour but instead a grey one. I personally love the natural arans but most of all I love the arans which are knitted with such pride and care in Ireland.

I've had some other aran sweaters knitted outside Ireland and there is no comparison in the quality of the finished garment.

Why don't you think about getting one for yourself. They're so warm and they'll last for years - in fact they're the sort of garment which can be handed down in the family - what a lovely thought! Your own heirloom.
