The Argory - a place I've such an attachment to.
I used to work here all through my teenage years - in the tearoom, membership, doing guided tours of the house, gift shop - you name it, I've done it.
It fills my heart to be here.

There's a gorgeous tearoom in Co Armagh at Black's Garden Centre. It's only been opened for less than two years and has its own Christmas Shop. Look how pretty it was yesterday in the snow when I called in to try the coffee on the school run.

When in Donegal at Castle Grove Country House. A seven course tasting menu. What an addition to my gastronomic tour of Ireland on my Victory Vegas! Just fabulous!

Our first spin of the year out yesterday. It was super cold but so good to get out. We are heading to Fermanagh today for a St Patrick's Day trip. ☘️☘️☘️ We are on the hunt for good food. Yesterday's offering was so poor in an establishment which absolutely should not be anything less than top class.

Yesterday we travelled to The Bucks Head in Dundrum, Co Down after a few hours on Tyrella Beach tiring out the dogs.
Then we had a feast!

We have some new babies!!
This one is the bravest so far - two hens, five quails and we are hoping for two ducks.
As cute as I've ever seen.

Zero food waste in our home. Fried potatoes, left overs from dinner last night, with a sprinkling of black pepper and turmeric.
A hearty breakfast on a white frosty morning.

I've just got back from my luxury glamping weekend on the coast only to come home to this fabulous hamper from Sabzi - an award winning deli in Padstow, Falmouth, Truro and Newquay! Lush to say the least! Thank you to my lovely work colleague for sending me such a beautiful gift. #hamper #sabzi

Last night I had a very tasty dining experience in Moran's of Glenarm on the County Antrim coast.
A quirky new establishment is the village seafood restaurant. It's small, but was booked out, and certainly packs a punch in terms of the flavoursome offerings with seafood leading the listings.

It's my birthday today and my other half has booked us a weekend coastal stay at a luxury glamping retreat.
It's going to be wild.

I do adore some Sunday morning AGA baking.
Local flour, local buttermilk, local butter, local porridge oats, local flaxseed.
Two more in the oven.

Our local farm shop is closing today for good!
I'm gutted. I buy everything I need from the Halligan family.
It actually really peeves me when locals do not support a local business like this. The veggies are literally growing in fields less than a mile from our home.
