Originally a Kilbrin, Co. Cork (Ireland) girl, presently a Drawda, Co. Louth citoyenne, serious ' Live 'n let Live' merchant..you get one life et ça y est !
Spotted these beauties on my walk today....only just out of hibernation and no doubt very grateful for the nectar in these dandelions......Folks, please don't mow ye're lawns yet as it would deprive our pollinators of an important food source 🐝🦋🌼

A felon, a Nazi, a fool,
A trio who think they're so cool,
But those without souls
Are empty as holes,
And doomed to collapse, as a rule.

Temperatures in Ireland don’t look that low but then when you look at the windchill you see the reality! Feeling bitter today ahead of the wind and rain.

“Fine Gael, who dumped him, and Fianna Fáil, who advised Lowry never to darken the Dáil door again, are now playing government-formation footsie with him.
Is it any wonder there is voter cynicism?”
