Spring time

Spring is in the air, sunny days and lots of gardening needs to be done.


Lisa gets to grips with the new lawnmower



Lots of plans for the newly constructed vege plots



time out from all that exhausting work !



weeding at the front of the house

getting to grips with the 'weed eater'

It is however worth all the effort as the location is beautiful and when we are not cutting grass or weed eating, it is also tranquil.

This is why we are calling our accommodation Vineyard View Lodge

We still have boxes to unpack and as a reminder of how the journey started for our possessions, the following photo shows how they arrived at the end of their journey, 341 Old Coach Road, Mahana



The removal compnay



Our removal company was great and our unpaid removal friends helped the day go smoothly



The removal 'party'

As mentioned, spring is here, with agricultural shows and school fairs happening. I spotted a report of a school that used' cow pat bingo' to raise money for their school........remember where you heard it first........ it involes marking out an area of grass with squares and fencing the area off. Put a cow (although in this case a pony was used as the cow gave birth that morning) in the fenced off area and wait to see which square she puts her cow pat in !!. You make money by selling off the squares. The winner won $1000 !! I can see YFCs and schools across NIreland rushing to make some money out of watching a cow lifting her tail (I think a few rules are needed to cover various eventualities).

 I hope to blog a bit more often, now we are internet friendly again.
