I'm 43 happily married to Andy with 2 lovely kids.
I have 3 cats and a dog.
I love animals and if I had my way I would have a houseful of them.
I live in Sligo, Ireland, although I was born in the UK (Hemel Hempstead). My parents are Irish and we moved to Sligo in 1991.
I still miss parts of the UK, its quite hard to fit in here, but I like my own company.
I'm hooked on taking photo's. I get a bit carried away sometimes.
I also love music and going to concerts.
I like to have new contacts and have made some great friends through flickr. Please only add me if you will comment on my photos on a regular basis.
If you want to use any of my photos please ask. Recently I have noticed lots of my photos on various pages and it's polite to ask first.
You can find my blog on wordpress:
magnumlady.wordpress.com/
If you want to find me on twitter I'm magnumlady.
I also upload videos to youtube. Here is a slideshow of various photos of the village where I live that I have taken:

"What can I say about Val.....magnum_lady....other than she has an appalling taste in music.........only this...she is probably one of the most honest photographers on Flickr....she chooses her subject...points her camera...shoots and posts...no messing...no fuss....lol...her photography is a record and diary of her everyday life...of family and home, her garden, the countryside, animals..in particular donkeys....her town.....wonderful stuff....interesting stuff.....photographed from the heart.
So Val...hats off to you..as a photographer and Flickr friend.....I`m glad we`ve got to know each other.....oh and if anyone`s interested...she`s wanted by Interpol and there`s a six figure reward."30th December, 2008

Every week she uploads fantastic shots from beautiful landscapes and lakes to funny signs and animals,she never seems to run out of quality photos.
Thanks a million for all of your support!"26th August, 2008

"I love waiting on Val's photos. She onbvioulsy has a rich canvas being in Sligo and it's clear she loves her animals and nature.
I look forward to her photos daily to see which technique and subjects she has chosen.
Particulatly like some of her derelict building shots that tell a story of times gone by.

" "I've only just started on Flickr, and I have to say you've taught me a lot about taking photos mum! I can guarantee that whoever looks at my mums photos will see that she is a fantastic photographer, I'm so jealous! I hope that after a while I'll be as good as you mum!"

Joe Cashin Photography says:
"I met Magnum_lady (Val) here some time ago. I was immediatley captivated by her excellent lay out of pictures, and her friendliness.
Val is a very caring and family person, this reflects so much from the pictures of her family, her husband Andy, and children, Lucy and Jono, (who are always ready to pose for their Mum). You can see lots of pictures of their lovely home and from around the family home in The Yeats county of Sligo.
Her picture's also display some beautiful nature pictures, awesome landscapes from around the majestic Benbulben table mountain, to Queen Maeves Cairn on Knocknarea. Val has a great eye for a picture, she captures shots that others would have passed by or missed an oppertunity.
Val is very generous and takes time to visit other members pictures, and always leaves a nice positive comment.
I look forward to every new upload from Magnum_Lady and when you browse through this fantastic selection of pictures, you will want to come back every day.
Thanks for your pictures, and great friendship Val.

"Magnum is one of my newer friends who has some great shots combined with some everyday life shots of her family and home. I like the combo and I look forward to watching her grow as a photographer. Thank you for your support in my photos as well. :)
