Summer walks



Canal Walk







Barley Harbour





                    Look what he found!





Wish I could record the delicious scent along this path.






                            Successful duck family


A trip to Kinvarra




A hot day, a good day to drive over to Kinvarra in Co. Galway













A bit hot for the old boy



Then back to the fields






June and July 2016 - Fruit and Flowers

Spring two thousand and sixteen brought a LOT of rainfall and it didn't look like summer would ever really come - but of course it did.

                                                 Old Faithful in full bloom


                                         A blue sky - there were several - especially mid-July


Even boring old Potentilla looking good by the canal





A great season for soft fruits this year (apparently they appreciate loads of water in spring)

Plenty of fruit crumbles and Clafoutis and wrapped in the freezer and 
some sinful desert - Raspberry and Strawberry Pavlova - the queen pf
all deserts.
