This weathered chair washed up on Ballyteigue Burrow, Co. Wexford, scarred by the sea but still standing.

It was restored and donated to It’s Good 2 Talk, a Wexford mental health charity.

This small act captures the spirit of the circular economy.

Yesterday in our #NatureExplorer programme, St. Brigid's pupils learned about the wonderful bramble plant that shares the gift of blackberries (sméara dubha).
Some students also made some medicine for nettle stings with plantain (slánlus) and others gathered berries in tiny 'fairy cups' or acorns.
