This postbox sits in the #Dublin suburb of Rathmines, where I work. It’s another previously red (UK) one that was painted over. I like the little note that someone has stuck onto the aperture. ❤️ #PostboxSaturday

So I wrote a #haiku on Sunday, submitted it (and one other) to the Autumn Moon journal on Monday and got an acceptance for it today. Not a bad turnaround! I won’t share it here, but it’s about these Douglas irises, which are abundant in my (balcony) garden at the moment

Here’s a lovely old (and now sadly defunct) postbox, which is situated in the limestone wall of a 170-year-old primary school in my neighbourhood in #Dublin. Did you know that all of the postboxes in Ireland are original UK ones, with their red colour covered over with green paint? #PostboxSaturday
