Had a lovely time with the sis at Collinstown Farmers Market in Westmeath on Sunday & met lots of lovely people. Got some amazing Donegal oysters and mussels too for a seafood feast! Highly recommend if you’re in the area, followed by a walk up “The Cut” at Lough Lene, Castlepollard, Westmeath which is a freshwater swimming spot!

Yesterday a customer told me about Pearls and how they are a living gem. Imagine how many pearls it takes to make a necklace!!

I work in a garden centre and I love my garden so I get that people dont want pests annoying them like slugs or ants BUT it seems to me that we are too quick to kill. What natural remedies do you recommend for dealing with garden pests? My Polish friend has suggested cinnamon around the doorway or window to stop ants entering. Worth a try!

Having recently moved to Rosslare Harbour my new garden is a challenge with windy conditions and salt air! Got windbreak up and trying sea lavender, shore lobelia and a hardy vine alongside some alpines. Fingers crossed!
