Bird Boxes
The bird box has always been something I’ve queried. I don’t know why. I just feel/ felt that they would always be better off making their own. Is that fair to say….? Either or, I wanted two in the garden just for the craic of it. You know, to see would they come. These two [...]

Here, you have that. You might be able to do something with it…. That’s quite a regular statement I hear actually. Surprised ? I wasn’t. It’s not the most unusual object I’ve ever been handed. I like the odd challenge and this one was a doddle. Yesterday I filled the container with some pebble. More [...]

No this not a postcard. This is the view from what is known a Ladies View, In Killarney. It is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to in my life. People say Ireland can be expensive – well this is as easy as a picnic, if you chose to do it [...]

I had reviewed The War Memorial Gardens last May. But today wasn’t about my view of the park. It was about a group of people, a great group of people I should add, who took some time out of their Sunday, to enjoy a little of the great outdoors. On a slight side note it [...]

I would ask [very politely... ] those involved in the trade if you could refrain [...]

Pretty amazing to be quite honest. [I've put some more pics of the day over on Pix.ie] For those not from Dublin or Ireland [...]

You may read this and suggest that I’ve skipped so many facts and figures to suit… but, I should stick to the programme that is all things green and Peter. Also one should note that this isn’t an economics weblog [as much as I love the subject] and also that a much greater insight into [...]

Niall and Lauren did something similar over on Simply Zesty But whilst this list refers to those only green – it is here I must side step slightly…. For it seems in Ireland, in the horticultural department at least…. we really do not get the online gig. And if ‘we’ do… it’s not done terribly [...]

On Monday the 26th October 2009 I went to visit Kilkenny Castle Rose Park & Gardens. I went under the recommendation of my good friend Pat Fitzgerald.
