On Easter morning in old Ireland, it was customary for the father of a household to light a candle & bless the four corners of the house, hearth & threshold with holy water
It was said to safeguard the family, home & harvest ahead🌿

The charity I worked with closed down, giving clients a week to find somewhere else to go so ex staff and a carer set up a CIC, and now we provide a weekly drop-in for over 25 people with mental health problems and learning difficulties. We volunteer our time and it's the best day of the week!

On special days throughout the year, I record all the plants flowering in our meadow. Mindfully, I gather a single flower from every plant that can spare a bloom. This wild flower array is from one those special days, gathered in late September - 62 species 💚 #WildflowerHour #Wildflowers #Meadow

Watching a Starling Roost - put it on your winter bucket list.
Even if the Starlings don't actually murmur, an evening out watching the birds coming in to roost is an awe inspiring experience.

Throwback to one of the most needed and peaceful holidays we've had in a long time. North Wales is a calming, beautiful part of the world.
