Went picking blackas this week. I found them very small this year with surprisingly few actually ripe yet. And there were lots that seemed to have withered on the bush. Tried several spots. Last year was a way better crop. Love it though, reminds me of my mom and dad.

Mount Congreve looked magnificent today. Had never been and mid May seems like the optimal time to visit. Highly recommend you go immediately before these blossoms fade.

Only a flying visit. Two nights one evening and one morning. Went to Cité du Vin and enjoyed. Went to St Émilion last time, such a beautiful place. Place de la Bourse with the water mirrors is a must. Very walkable town. Very beautiful buildings and the people friendly and helpful

Yesterday was the earliest I ever picked blackberries. Not all ripe yet but lots to begin with.

Sitting, enjoying the evening sunshine in the back garden and trying not to think about the weeding, moving, dead heading, cutting back, tying in I should be doing. Just sitting, smelling, listening and feeling the glorious sunshine.

Saw this moth on the window late last night when I turned to close the blind. Fluttering, looked pink and blue through the window but different when I went outside. So beautiful I went outside to investigate. Never saw one like it before. Is it unusual in Cork?
