The time seems to be flying by so fast these days. There is a lot happening, but at the moment I have a quiet couple of days coming up *Touch wood*. So hopefully I will find the time to enjoy some of the many blog posts that are on my list for reading and to do some relaxing and recharge my batteries.
Since I last posted I have done a lot, work has been really busy, I have helped my aunt move, my other half and I have celebrated our anniversary and we have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. I treated myself to a day off where I went to get a massage, had a great lunch and went for a lovely walk in the sunshine we have been having quite a lot of lately. And, as I mentioned in my previous post, my brass band had our first concert of the year. We also have had rehearsals with both the bands I am in and last week we had a wonderful and inspiring masterclass at band.
Today the sunshine and warmer weather decided to take a break and I woke up to snow again. I would have preferred it to stay nice and warm, but these small setbacks are a usual thing on the way to spring. Hopefully it will all disappear in one go, so I don’t wake up to slippery roads tomorrow. The flowers I had planted in my garden seem to have survived so far. But if the snow keeps insisting to fall, I don’t know for how long.
Easter is right around the corner and so this weekend it will be time for my first overnight stay at our summerhouse for the year. I will only be going in from Saturday till Sunday, but it will be nice to start the season. I just hope there will be no snow. After that it will be back to work for a couple days before we get on a plane and go to Ireland for a little vacation. I am very much looking forward to going. It feels like a long time since I was there even if it was only in November. It will be wonderful to meet up with friends and family and to enjoy springtime on the Emerald Isle.
Hope you are all well. How far along is spring where you are?

Lovely post! Ireland is a wonderful country and I totally envy you 😉. I always think back fondly to the many places I’ve seen … Dublin, Drogheda, Limerick, Cork, Waterford, the coast, … enjoy your vacation!
Thank you, I am looking forward to going. I have only been to Dublin out of the ones you list there, but I have spent much time around parts of the west coast, and I look forward to going back.
Hope you will share some experiences from your trip with us! Plus pictures, please! 😁
I will try to!
That cod looks so good!
It really was amazing!
My parents relatives were from Cork County. I would love to visit, some time.
Cork is a place I would also like to visit 🙂 Maybe on my next trip
Glad your winter and spring have been filled with family, nature and good food. Blessings, all!
