Unfortunately the photos from this old post have been lost Happy Bridget’s Day I have been happily hibernating since Solstice, very much enjoying the “cut wood, carry water” lifestyle of the old days, although it is more like carry turf-briquettes, collect water in my neck of the woods. The really severe weather which started before…
Welcome to my new wordpress blog theme – designed by yours truly! I must admit to being quite pleased as I have never attempted anything quite like this before – looking through templates and choosing one is as technical as I have been in the past! What do you think? Is it a keeper? It feels…
We are very excited to have been nominated for the Save Our Planet Awards in which voting is currently open. I’ll wait right here while you pop over to vote for us. These awards are in their second year in the North West of Ireland where we live and are a great way to find…
As I write I can hear rain drops pitter patter-ing on the roof light, it’s a lovely sound at night when you are warm and cozy and do not need to go outside. We did get some really nice weather week before last and made good use of it too! A couple of friends from…
I have just been relaxing for a while here on a frosty Leitrim afternoon, catching up on reading other blogs that I enjoy. Correction – I wasn’t really relaxing, I was working- I was actually waiting for the washing up water in the sink to be the right temperature to wash the dishes without scalding…
We had some real snow today, about seven or eight inches, it snowed all day, only stopping occasionally and then not for long. We went for a walk, threw really good snow balls and made a snowman. Today was a really good day for messing about and having fun! I also took a few photos…

Sorry I did not remember you are in Ireland (from my response to your comment at my place). Your online name is familiar in a friendly way. Hope you are able to see more thistle in real life soon.
Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.
Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂
As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
