Dedicating just 20 minutes a day to reading could offer significant benefits, including reducing your risk of a heart attack. This simple habit not only enriches the mind but also contributes to heart health in several profound ways.

1. Wear practical shoes. You may be tempted to opt for skyscraper heels but these are a definite no-no. You will have to walk from your car/bus/taxi to the stand and may be on your feet all day, so by the end of the evening (if not sooner) you will be in pain. You may also be standing on the grass at some point and that comes with a risk of sinkage. A chunky heel combines style with support and may be your best option if you are heading to Ballybrit. A flare heel which has a wider base at the bottom, tapering to a thinner point at the top, is another wise choice, especially if you have wider feet. It provides style, stability, and support. If you would like your legs to appear longer, opt for slim, medium heels.

The Lausanne Conference of July 1932, attended by the former allied powers of World War I (Britain, France, Belgium and Italy), and Germany, accepted that the world economic crisis made continued reparations by Germany virtually impossible. Various long-term arrangements were made, but in effect it allowed Germany off the hook for the monetary compensation it had agreed to pay for its responsibility in starting the war. Germany was now free to rebuild its own economy. This was a very importance conference attended by the world press, among whom was Clare Sheridan.

 When Clare Sheridan bought Spanish Arch House in the late autumn of 1946, she was seeking refuge from an eventful life, to find peace and quiet to continue her sculpture, and needed time to give expression to her religious fervour. She had recently converted to Catholicism, and could not resist telling anyone who listened ‘how exciting it was to be a Catholic.’
