Wonderful day had by all. #Kilkenny for parade, ferris wheel ride and delicious Turkish food then back to #Carlow the very long way, stopping at Paddy’s Pub, up over Mount Leinster at sunset, Ducket’s Grove in the dark (very spooky) and finally a pint of Kilkenny Draught and a Buskers whiskey at our local, Corcoran’s, the oldest pub in #Carlow. 9PM and this old guy is finishing up early, as he started with homemade brown soda bread with a bit of ham and cheese. Good night all. Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️ links to follow.

There’s no better cure for the late-winter blues than a trip to Altamont Gardens in County Carlow. Here’s another pic of the wonderful snowdrops there last week. 🌿🤍🇮🇪

Drippy Drops! These snowdrops are thriving despite the damp start to the year. Nature’s resilience is always beautiful to witness close up. 🌧️🤍

🐦 This Blue Tit was pausing for a split second between snacks! Fun fact: their blue caps actually glow under UV light to attract mates. Nature is properly wild.

The stillness at Altamont Gardens yesterday. The water was like glass. You couldn't tell where the trees ended and the reflection began. A perfect spot to just breathe and reset. 🌿💧

A stunning carpet of white and purple at Altamont Gardens today. The moss on these old trees makes the colours pop incredibly well. Spring is definitely peeking through! 🌿
