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

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.

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!
