White Blossom


Just to remind myself of the glorious Spring weather the weekend before last lol
And tomorrow is Bealtine, and the start of Summer. Baal's fires lit, and the climb towards the shortest day is begun in earnest. It's hard not to get excited even in the teeth of the last two summers' disappointing weather; I'd love to be able to predict a long hot summer (although apparently the UK weather office has!) but at least the evenings will be long, the nights short and flowers will bloom....

Buzz Off


Spray of Gold


Haven't a clue what the name is (if anyone does let me know lol) but I love this plant, it has such perfectly hued sprays, and it grows so easily (at elast in my experience and as I can kill plants without trying....) My mother has green fingers, my Grandmother was a fabulous gardener and I inherited their love of it but not their talent. It's taken me years of dedicated perseverance to grow herbs and tomatoes - god help this year's strawberries!

Growing your own




Last weekend I finally made it to the garden centre; and the small garden is now the better for lettuce, new thyme and chives (so I can "rest" the established herb beds) and a new herb pot with rosemary, sage, parsley. We also put down tomato and strawberry plants. I've grown tomatos every year for a long time, except for last year so it's great to have some again. Organically home-grown tomatos are incredible; they are 90% tomato and only a littly watery centre, and they make the most wonderful sauces.

Wheels...



A bizarre coincidence: a vintage car rally at Kildare on the same day as we stumbled over the vintage Porche rally last year on honeymoon in Tuscany (bagna di Lucca)Not quite as cool as that rally but a sight nonetheless; including the very cool Camero above and a NYPD police car from the 70s. I only had the iphone with me but i couldn't resist taking a few shots.

Mountain Road



Part of our trek through the mountains and forests took us down a rocky track which, the sign informed us, should not be attempted in Winter or in heavy rain. Halfway down it became apparent why not, as it was less a track and more a river bed.
