T HOME

We're at home for the Memorial Day weekend. 

How about you?

The coast would be lovely. . . . . . the mountains even better.

But being here and having some quiet moments is fine with me.

Kinsale 'Mansion'. . . . . . Raleigh 'Cottage'

Safely home and the trip was good from London's Heathrow to Raleigh/Durham,

 we even arrived early!

This was my favorite tiny home in Ireland, located in Kinsale, Co. Cork. 

It's even smaller than my Raleigh cottage!  Something is special when cobalt blue

 meets sunflower yellow, almost a French Provençal feeling. More pluses here

 are the climbing hydrangea on the chimney and the orange nasturtiums, 

the mini window boxes, and the lovely front door with the name The Mansion House

painted above. 

My cottage is still yellow however there is a mass of blue in the garden -

watch this space for details!

  Have spent much of today outside working. . . . . hot, mosquito proofed, dirty

 and getting things shipshape. 

There was a lot of rain whilst we were gone and now it's very hot.

Every growing thing has doubled in size it seems.

I hosed out the gazebo - lots of spider webs and such - so will be 

enjoying an aperitif there this evening, watching and listening to our

garden birds who seem so happy we're back and have filled their feeders.
