Mary Roche @maryroche.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Lovely breakfast and walk in glorious sunshine out at Mount Congreve this morning. The Coach House are now operating the cafe and I must say I enjoyed it immensely. It's a massive attribute to have on our doorstep folks. Try to get out if you can and don't forget to bring your visitors! #Waterford 140 0
Mary Roche @maryroche.bsky.social · 24/02/2025An update on the Corvid with no top beak who frequents the park. He or she eats by pushing small pieces of food up onto their claw (see video!) and eating with its head upside down. We're thinking of calling him/her Dua One Lipa 🤣 #birdwatching #Ireland #Waterford @birdwatchireland.bsky.social 020 0

Mary Roche @maryroche.bsky.social · 12/01/2025It struck me yesterday that in 2025 Waterford City is 1,111 years old! Founded in 914 the city is historic, warm, colourful, inclusive, festive, brave, determined, artistic, sporting, musical, beautiful, loyal, ambitious and welcoming. Happy 1,111st birthday #Waterford.

Mary Roche @maryroche.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I know housing is a huge issue but for me the issue of the campaign is the abandonment of people and families with #disabilities, #mentalhealth and #neurodiversity. Services are non-existent. And it's not working for the staff in those sectors either who care deeply. #Waterford 082 0
