Willpower and the lack of...

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.

Spring is beginning to spring

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!

Here we go again!  I will try to update this blog once a month!  I will put a reminder in my diary.  We have come a long way since my last post.  After reading over that post I remember the fog I was coming out of and realise how far I have come.  I feel very strong and happier nowadays and most importantly I am able to let things go!!! We have been in Covid-19 lockdown for the past 13 weeks I think!  My husband and daughter have been working from home.  We have a three story house, thank goodness, we each have a workspace on each floor. I have been cooking, gardening, writing, walking.  We have discovered a couple of new walks that we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep.  Here are some photos from March 2020 at the beginning of lockdown!
