@irishtimes.com I need to send you a dry cleaning bill/medical bill to recover the damage done when my breakfast came down my nose as I read Miriam Lord’s Dáil sketch this morning. Absolutely nailed it all!

Mixing my Christmas puddings now, to my late mother’s recipe. I have it in her own lovely handwriting and it’s my favourite part of the run up to Christmas, I can feel her beside me. This year all my chicks have flown the nest so the wishes were done over WhatsApp, and then stirred in by me.

Lovely pampas grass against the blue blue sky. It was soooo cold!

Morning walk, wooden bridge to the Bull Island, Dollymount

Another pookie

Blue blue sky, on Bluesky. A gannet gliding at Great Saltee during the summer.

Last of the mushroom pics for now. Spending an afternoon in the quietness of a forest is highly recommended.

More fungus, there’s something so magical about mushrooms and moss, brings me back to childhood fairytales 💝

I spent today photographing mushrooms in Donadea Forest. A mild November day, in beautiful surroundings. Glad to be alive!
