Blowin' in the wind

The pessimist complains about the wind;
the optimist expects it to change;
the realist adjusts the sails.
William Arthur Read


Bright and breezy and still chilly but I met TJ for a coffee and freshly made date and apple slice at the Heron Gallery. We braved the north-westerly and sat outside pretending it was high summer - oh wait, it is high summer! Annabel joined us and then we did a tour of her garden - currently part of the West Cork Garden Trail. It is looking magnificent - the colours! Even her washing was colour coordinated!  This is the formal garden but behind is a huge pond and wildflower meadow, plus the barefoot path. There's also a mini orchard, piggy area (kunekune pigs) and the vegetable garden - raised beds and polytunnel. Everywhere looks wonderful. I swiftly came home and mowed my grass and hacked at a few more brambles.
