Slow runner, organic gardener, retired school principal. Outdoors is my happy place! Too old for the noise (apart from my trombone, but my family is tired of that!) No nonsense. 📍 Clare, Ireland 🇮🇪
Two crumble options today! Apple Cinnamon or rhubarb and ginger (or both! Zero judgement!) Also rustled up another batch of blackcurrant and berry jam. It's disappearing rapidly here! #homemade #baking #preserving #SundayLunch
First day of August. Out early for our daily shuffle in the sunshine! 🌳🐾💚 #getoutdoors #trees #wellbeing
Relieved to see little green shoots on my bonsai which had dropped all its leaves two weeks ago. I'm assuming heat stress. In any case, it appears to be on the mend! 🌱 #bonsai #gardeningsky
Pumpkin plants coming along nicely in the garden. The rain today helps with the watering! 🌱 #gardeningsky #gardens
Roses, begonias and cala lilies all thriving despite this summer's heat. 🌹 ♥️ #gardenshour @gardenshour.bsky.social #sixweeksofcolour
Turned a small crop of our own blackberries into jam and baked an orange drizzle cake for Sunday lunch. The kitchen smells lovely! 👩🍳 #bakingsky
What a treat to see Lennox Robinson's play at the Abbey! Super cast and crew too! #theatre @abbeytheatre.bsky.social
Hello fellow gardeners. Trying to keep everything alive this week. An alder that I'd planted in April, dropped all its leaves this week. I've watered it every evening (with a can!) and new leaves have sprouted. 🙌 Nature is amazing. 🌱 #gardenshour #gardeningsky #gardens
A world without bees is a world where flowers do not bloom, crops fail, and nature slowly falls silent. Every bee is a tiny guardian of life, pollinating the plants that sustain our planet. Protecting bees means more than just saving an insect—it is about safeguarding our future.
What about these beauties! Ragwort, daisy, self heal and cow parsley! 🌱 #wildflowerhour #stillflowering #wildflowers @wildflowerhour.bsky.social
