What a brilliant day on Saturday Ballintubbert Gardens and House festival of garden & nature. Especially loved Rory O Connell chat with kate gatacre and tom petherick '2 growers and a cook' and David & Dominic West swimming ponds. Fab organic gardens to host it all in. Well done Jenifer π¨βπΎ
Got into the hives this afternoon for the first time since autumn. Just as well I only have 2 #RapeseedOilππΎπ π
Delicious lunch today Killeavy Castle Estate and had a good look around the walled garden and farm shop. Thank-you Darragh Dooley for showing us around π
What a gorgeous day it was. A walk at Greencastle with the furry ones, fish, scampi & chips @ Galley, Annalong, drive through Silent Valley & ice cream @ Grahams in Rathfriland on the way home #perfectday
First day of spring today, & what a good one it was. The honeybees were out and about bringing in pollen, so many birds in fine voice, newts in the pond & the garden bursting into life #SpringEquinox
Would really appreciate if you could take 10 mins for 'Food messaging to children' survey for Fiona Quigley Ulster University & share with anyone who is a parent or works with children

Fabulous lunch, as always Wine & Brine today. Food and service is always just perfect. Very lucky to have a restaurant of this calibre in Moira π
Today is #WorldWildlifeDay & we're committed to managing our kitchen garden & land in an organic way & increase biodiversity. Since 2020 we have planted 1600 mixed native tree species, along with 300m of wildlife friendly hedges π #WorldWildlifeDay 2024 #nature #nature friendly
Back from a wee trip to London and we had a fabulous food tour with Celia Brooks at Borough Market. Well worth doing even if you've been to Borough many times already.
βThe food system is clearly not working for farmers, for nature or the climate or even consumers. And some farmers are getting angry. For too long we've needed a coherent strategy for food and farming, and itβs really hurting that we donβt yet have it.β

Excellent dinner last night @ Alex Dilling Hotel CafΓ© Royal and the staff were just brilliant! Felt sorry for them though as they were surrounded by people taking/editing photos of each other (just why!!!l) and 1 complaining loudly that the wine list differed from the website.
This was a first for me....the sink is integrated into the top of the loo. Saving space as well as using handwashing water for the flush. Genius. Why isn't this everywhere???? #SustainableFuture
