Irish friends! The Irish Garden Bird Survey started this week. It makes winter completely bearable. Plus, it allows you to legitimately stare out various windows over the next 13 weeks: "I'm not wasting time! I'm contributing to a citizen science project!" birdwatchireland.ie/our-work/sur...
Irish Garden Bird Survey - BirdWatch Ireland
The Irish Garden Bird Survey is fun, free and open to everyone! Over 1,600 households took part last year and the survey opens again in December 2019.

Only recently 'discovered' Derrymore House at Bessbrook near Neewry. Lovely spot for a walk.

Derrymore House, County Armagh

An example of cottage orné architecture, the Derrymore estate was bought by industrialist, John Richardson in 1859.

To the north of the estate, the Richardson family called Derrymore House home, and provided a taste of the rustic life they were seeking.

Late 18th-century thatched house in gentrified vernacular style. The walls of the house are yellow, with white windows and doors. There are pink flowers in the foreground of the picture.
