Magical Driftwood and Happy Cats
As the weekend draws in, the clock tells me it’s time to make dinner and settle in for the evening…it’s Friday evening!
The day has been wet and grey and much of my work has taken place in and around the cottage.
Days like today are welcome though, as it allows a little bit of a slow-down and a time for reflection and making plans.
I have decided to tile the kitchen floor, using broken tiles from the local tile shop, Carrick Tiles.
It is a long task, but the best approach is to a little each day and try not to work too long, as this can inhibit the desire to return to the task the following day!
Missy has kept warm beside the stove. This is the longest period of time without a visit to the vet.
It appears that keeping really warm by the stove eases her symptoms.
Doesn’t she look well?
Some friends visited last weekend and Nick brought me this lovely mirror he made using driftwood. There is something so beautiful about driftwood.
Even the scent of this wood evokes the ocean.
It is magical to live this close to the Atlantic Ocean…about a 45 minute drive to Rosses Point.
I’m happy to tell you all that the “We Will Not Comply” petition now has over 4,200 signatures…not bad for a mere 8 days. If you would like to add your name then here’s the link…

April Snow, Bees and Butterflies
April weather is always unpredictable. Snow fell this morning…in between rain and brilliant sunshine! It was like a convergence of all the seasons in one morning! This time last year we were swimming in the Atlantic Ocean down by Mullaghmore Pier. Legs and arms, uncovered for the first time in months, looked a sickly white […]

The Drama Unfolds…
The rain has fallen for 48 hours. Heavy, relentless rain, that has washed down the hill behind the cottage and into the ditches, I constructed for such a deluge. The water is carried around the ditches and into the stream bed that flows down through the Fairy Wood and on, into the ponds. This is […]

Ecosystems, Stability, Wild Orchids and Cuckoos @ Bealtaine Permaculture Smallholding, Ireland
Working in the tunnel this morning I heard the first Cuckoo of the year calling from the hill behind Bealtaine. This is extraordinarily early to hear the Cuckoo…usually in May, or at the earliest, very late April…the seasons are coming earlier here in Ireland. The flowers on the first Wild Orchid of the year are […]

From Monoculture to Permaculture…Beyond Organic in Ireland!
From monoculture grass and cows to Pear blossom on an April evening…Permaculture. Where once was a field covered in grass and rushes, there is now an orchard and…permaculture. Blackthorn blossom through the arch… The barbed wire that once bordered this area by the cottage is gone, replaced with a new border…of plants and trees…permaculture! And […]

Hope – good medicine in tough times.
I want to make one, can harvest reeds, but would love instructions
***********************
There is a workshop I posted on this, somewhere in the archives. I shall have a look back in January to see if I can locate it and flag it up for you.
Bless you

Postscript
Okay…I could not find the workshop on here, so searched Google and this is a simple set of instructions for you to follow. It is a fiddly job, but keep at it and it will come right!
Good luck!

“Often I think we are slowly emerging from the Dark Ages of Greed, Ignorance and Arrogance.
We are all sacred beings on a journey towards the Divine”. I do hope you are right!!!!!
****************************************
There is a change happening that people are only beginning to articulate…of this I am sure!
Bless you

I teach ‘Believe Makes and Doubt Breaks’ something my grand taught me though I have coined the phrase. I believe in what you have written and doubt greed can win. All thanks to our ancestors who passed good forward when they could.

What a wonderful way to put it! There is much wisdom in what you have said…I love it!
