So last night I was a “runner”, which is just calling the kids as their order comes up (for competition in music, drama, art, sign language, memorization…) I was also asked to keep the hall quiet so those in memorization...

While England has been suffering in up to 29 degree heat (Celsius) I have been quite content to enjoy a mere 13 degrees here in Ireland - 55F in old money. The garden is sheltered and warm, a bit of a sun trap, and the grass is...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv something like that. The various ruses were all quite funny in their way. During an Ulster Workers strike one family I knew disagreed and foolishly made it known. Next morning they all slept in because during the night people had painted their bedroom...

More common sense was spoken today when a few of Britain’s sporting bodies declared that trans women could not compete or play in women’s teams. Trans groups are incensed, but a lot of women are relieved that they won’t face a...

Fiacre Banks @thehorse And it’s wrong that such a small minority of people should be able to impose their agenda on the majority. If someone is trans they are trans and I’ve no objection. Doesn’t mean we all have to get on board.

The photo above depicts the reason for my current pondering. Among my yellow pansies blooming away merrily in a tub and annoying nobody, a potato plant has sprouted. This can happen if you don’t lift all the previous year’s crop...

I love rhubarb. It is extremely easy to grow. In fact, if you are not careful it will take over your entire garden. It is for this very reason that we grow ours in two large pots. We had them on the patio and that was...
