Lovely to see the neighbours back out in the field after the winter. Having a little chat over the garden fence catching up on all the .. moos.

Chatting with the girls next door and they invited us round to see the calves and all the fancy new tech on the farm. Nanny cams on the maternity ward, automated feeders, and health monitors on every cow.

Hall transformation. Building up the guts to tackle that stairs and the French doors! Any advice on dealing (I mean painting.. replacing isn’t in the old budget plans!) with that varnished pine stairs is very welcome.

Some things make no sense and perfect sense. All in one. For the past 15 years or more this is where my parents keep their measuring tape,in their perfectly tidy house. It’s just where it lives. And the 5 times a year they need it, it’s ready to go by the pasta and wooden spoon.

Still on the bookshelf in my old room. 2 classics, from different stages of my youth !! Anyone else remember these!?

Kitchen reno .. no budget? No problem! #Recycling and #upcycling what we can. Everyone’s a winner! Kitchen on a shoe-string!

Nothing says Mother’s Day like a bit of muddy mullocking in the garden. Todays finds in the ditch include, primroses, a satellite dish, milk crate and, my personal fav… a Swedish 1998 jubilee model saw. Treasures! #happymothersday

Princess and the pea. Watchful eye being kept on the garden. Cat duties.

Peaking a bit too early. #springforward with kids really just means an extra long day.

How it started, how it’s going… getting ready for those summer sunsets!

Timmy the Dog, keeping a sharp eye out for the Easter Bunny. He is not a fan, and thinks all the treats should be for him. 🥚 🍫 🐣

“I wish there was a way to know you were in the good ol’ days before you actually left them” as written by Zoey Coffey and her friends. A suitably pink sunset for Zoey, and Grace, Luke & Nikki - all buried this week. A week of tragedy and loss. 😔

The environmental disaster that comes from the sale and use of “festival camping” stuff sold at major retailers. People can carry it in but can’t be bothered to carry it home. Every year this happens and nothing is done.

I love this honesty. And bravery to try something without letting fear get in the way.

Thousands of people are trapped in Jabalia camp, north #Gaza, as Israeli forces attack the area. “Nobody is allowed to get in or out, anyone who tries is getting shot,” says Sarah Vuylsteke, MSF project coordinator. 5 MSF staff are trapped in the camp, fearing for their lives.

The humanitarian crisis in the northern #Gaza Strip has deepened as Israeli bombs killed at least 20 people and trapped thousands more - especially in Jabalia. Aid has not been allowed into North Gaza since October 1. irishtimes.com/world/middle-e…

"We see what’s happening in northern Gaza in terms of the necessity of eyes and ears on the ground," Micheál Martin said. "#Israel is not only undermining the UN and the peacekeeping force, but the very rules based international order." independent.ie/irish-news/isr…

We are devastated after the loss of Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al Shalfouh on Oct. 10, our colleague, who was killed by shrapnel injuries to his legs and chest he suffered on Oct. 8 in #Jabalia, North #Gaza. Jabalia has been under attacks by Israeli forces since Oct. 7.
