A couple of years on

OMG!  Weekly is obviously too ambitious for me - should be called the occasional Blog of a Dublin Woman!!

I am loving my garden at the moment!  Although in the heart of town it is incredibly peaceful and full of birdsong!  The scent of honeysuckle fills the air!  Enjoy the photos;
 These Sweetpeas have just blossomed - they are in patio pots
 I have four varieties of Hydrangeas in my little garden - I love them!


 Teeny white roses!



The smelly Honeysuckle!

Spring is beginning to spring

Image
Is it always the yellow crocuses that bloom first? Yellow first, then purple and lastly the white. For the last couple of weeks we have seen shoots appearing in the woods and parks, crocuses, snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells, tulips... In fact shoots appeared from the bulbs I have in pots before Christmas in the snow. Last weekend we walked up Ticknock, en famille. It was a gorgeous sunny day, I had even put a load of laundry out on the line to dry. We were so enthusiastic we headed up beyond the masts towards the fairy castle. We had always been too tired to make it up that far before. All of a sudden we were shrouded in clouds and it started to sleat! Needless to say we turned around and came down off the mountain very wet but happy with our adventure. From a bright sunny day it had very quickly turned into a hot chocolate sort of day! I only walked once this week, bad. bad, bad!! I couldn't help walking with a spring in my step today because it was so lovely on Killiney

Falling off the Wagon

Image
Gosh I have fallen off the wagon already!! I have been walking but not the three times a week as I promised myself! More importantly I have not been blogging!! Well, here we go getting back up again. I have been so busy, car in the shop, birthday parties etc. This is the usual stuff in a busy Mums life, I know. So there is no for me not to excuse not to excercise and I have to get that into my head. This afternoon come hell or high water I am going to get my coach out on her new bicycle and have a good walk. She loves her new bicycle even though it is quite pink and as she is a "tom boy" now she no longer likes this colour. She was nervous at first, thinking it was too big for her. At first I had to hold onto the saddle until she gained momentum but now she is cycling away like a pro! It is a lovely sight. Now I just need to run along beside her.

Willpower and the lack of...

Image
Where is all my resolve and determination gone? I have got to get myself back on track. I have been walking but not enough. So I promise tomorrow morning I will do the hard, Killiney Hill walk. I always feel envigourated after I do this walk. The daffodils are so plentiful and so pretty in Dublin at the moment. We are enjoying a lovely sunny spring here this year. The countryside is looking gorgeous. Now that the clocks went forward at the weekend and the evenings are extending we can enjoy it even more. We did not turn the lights on until 8pm tonight and went for a walk after dinner.
