The giant #daisies from some #wildflower seeds I planted last year have been thriving in the sunny, dry weather over the past few weeks. They are up to my waist as they face up to the sun. And the #buttercups closer to the ground are pretty beautiful too.

The fields around me in Mayo, Ireland are glowing with them at the moment. Beautiful.

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I feel like I’ve never seen as much speedwell before as I have in the past week or so. There’s even some right outside my garden office door.

I’ll have to make the most of having a son studying there to make a few more visits. 😊

I took a lovely #StetWalk or two in Oxford on Tuesday and Wednesday, visiting my son. He brought us around the deer park at Magdalen College. It was beautiful in the sunshine.

I’m doing some advance reading before a new #editing job. The office manager is supervising and a loud robin is declaring his reign over the garden from a telephone wire. #freelancelife

I had missed all your action, @roisinm.bsky.social, but the card gave me a clue! Wishing you continued recovery. Here’s a happy cat photo from this afternoon to help.

I have abandoned it for work since starting it, but hope to return.

The April sunshine in my #garden brought the bees to this shrub. A berberis?

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

I was #proofreading my #garden today, under feline supervision and with a #reading break. I have found that idea more appealing than #weeding, so it’s what I tell myself I’m going to do.

And oddly, have we had any rain yet in April?

The value of #Mayo County Library and the national interlibrary loan system. I’ve just finished one book I requested and am about to start another. #library #reading #books

Just did Mouse, and she was exceptionally calm. Now we just need to capture Puss for a morning vaccination on Thursday. 🤞

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Puss: This old thing? Oh, okay. Alfie: This person who feeds me, talks to me and shares her bed with me is trying to kill me … again! I must escape! Mouse: I’ll just lie low and maybe she’ll forget she didn’t dose me.

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I’m putting it off till tomorrow. 😳

A canal #StetWalk on a cold but bright day near Longwood, Co. Meath. Always a nice way to break a journey.

The sun came out! I had a lovely #StetWalk at Enniscrone, next stop the Hebrides.

Mmm. I may need to reframe my standards of ‘cold’.

This was the best we had for seeing skills develop over time - from not being able to put shapes in, to recognising the right colours and pointing for an adult to put it through the right gap, to the physical ability to push them into the right gap. It was a gift from a friend in the US.

I had many a wet and windy #StetWalk over the past week. Then this.

Sunday Independent, p. 25 of People and Culture. I can send a photo, only I know some authors don’t want to read reviews (though it’s good). It’s part of a roundup with three others.

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Saw your book reviewed in the paper today, @roisinm.bsky.social. 😊

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

And on the eleventh day there was light.

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I loved it. So clever. I hope you enjoy it.

Gráinne Treanor @editorgrainnet.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Saw one just now on my evening walk here in Ireland. Not that colour, though.
